And right now, only 3 are in. Almost guaranteed to get at least 4 (NC State/Pitt) and good chance at 5. Even an outside shot at 6. However, we are in unchartered waters here as we go into the ACC Tournament with at least a small chance the league only gets 3-4 teams in. SMF was right.
To the ACC's advantage, all the "bid stealers" are in the bottom half of the bracket. If seeds hold, the UNC/UVa winner will meet the NCSt/Clem winner to go to the Final. So you very well could have UNC vs Clemson (or VT if they beat NC St and Clemson) for a trip to the final. So Pitt fans need to hope UVa is in that final. I think UNC is playing Saturday night.
