So Duke, North Carolina and Miami were all winners last night. So where does that leave BC?
Here are the current ACC standings as of Thursday morning:
| Rk. | Team | GP | W | L | Max W | Min W | Remaining |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Duke | 15 | 13 | 2 | 14 | 12 | @ North Carolina |
| 2 | North Carolina | 15 | 13 | 2 | 14 | 12 | Duke |
| 3 | Florida State | 15 | 10 | 5 | 11 | 10 | @ N.C. State |
| 4 | Virginia Tech | 15 | 9 | 6 | 10 | 9 | @ Clemson |
| 5 | Clemson | 15 | 8 | 7 | 9 | 8 | Virginia Tech |
| 6 | Boston College | 15 | 8 | 7 | 9 | 8 | Wake Forest |
| 7 | Maryland | 15 | 7 | 8 | 8 | 7 | Virginia |
| 8 | Miami (Fl) | 15 | 6 | 9 | 7 | 6 | @ Georgia Tech |
| 9 | Virginia | 15 | 6 | 9 | 7 | 6 | @ Maryland |
| 10 | N.C. State | 15 | 5 | 10 | 6 | 5 | Florida State |
| 11 | Georgia Tech | 14 | 3 | 11 | 5 | 3 | @ Wake Forest, Miami |
| 12 | Wake Forest | 14 | 1 | 13 | 3 | 1 | Georgia Tech, @ Boston College |
With Maryland's loss to Miami, the four seed is now out, and things are much, much more simplified.
Seeding scenarios. Go.
Fifth Seed
- Boston College defeats Wake Forest
- Clemson defeats Virginia Tech OR Virginia Tech defeats Clemson
If Clemson defeats Virginia Tech, BC, Clemson and Virginia Tech all finish at 9-7. Clemson wins the three-way tiebreaker over the Eagles and Hokies with a 2-0 record. BC earns the fifth seed with a 2-1 record, while Virginia Tech takes the no. 6 seed.
BC also earns the fifth seed if the Hokies beat Clemson. Virginia Tech would finish 10-6 and get either the 3 or 4 seed, depending on the result of Florida State-N.C. State. At 9-7, BC nabs the fifth seed and 8-8 Clemson is the six seed.
Bottom line: Beat Wake. Earn the 5 seed. Rematch with Wake a few days later.
Sixth Seed
- Wake Forest defeats Boston College
BC finishes 8-8 and stays where they are ... at number 6. With the number 6 seed, BC would play no. 11 Georgia Tech. The Jackets are locked into the 11 regardless of what they do against Wake Forest or Miami.
That's it. That's the list of scenarios. A lot more simple than yesterday, right?
