ACC Men's Basketball Tournament Bracket Projections: March 1, 2015

Mark Dolejs-USA TODAY Sports

With just one week left in the regular season, here's where things stand:

Team W L GB PCT
Virginia Cavaliers 15 1 -- 0.938
Duke Blue Devils 13 3 2 0.813
Notre Dame Fighting Irish 12 4 3 0.750
Louisville Cardinals 11 5 4 0.688
North Carolina Tar Heels 10 6 5 0.625
Syracuse Orange 9 7 6 0.563
Pittsburgh Panthers 8 7 6.5 0.533
Miami-Florida Hurricanes 8 8 7 0.500
Clemson Tigers 8 8 7 0.500
North Carolina State Wolfpack 8 8 7 0.500
Florida State Seminoles 7 10 8.5 0.412
Wake Forest Demon Deacons 4 11 10.5 0.267
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 3 14 12.5 0.176
Virginia Tech Hokies 2 14 13 0.125
Boston College Eagles 2 14 13 0.125

After removing Syracuse from the equation, here are the tournament seeds:

1. Virginia
2. Duke
3. Notre Dame
4. Louisville
5. North Carolina
6. Pittsburgh
7. Miami
8. Clemson
9. N.C. State
10. Florida State
11. Wake Forest
12. Georgia Tech
13. Virginia Tech
14. Boston College

– Miami, N.C. State and Clemson are all tied with an 8-8 record. At the moment, Miami would win the three-way tiebreaker over the other two teams with a 2-0 record against the tied teams. N.C. State and Clemson are both 1-1 vs. the tied teams, but face one another on Tuesday. As it stands now, Clemson would earn the 8 seed over N.C. State with the Tigers' head-to-head victory over the Wolfpack, though all this would do is determine which team wears home jerseys in the 8-9 matchup.

– Boston College and Virginia Tech are also tied at 2-14. The two programs will meet in the only regular season meeting between the two on Monday. Until then, the Hokies are the 13 seed with a victory over Pittsburgh (BC's best victory is vs. N.C. State).

And here's how the ACC Tournament would shake out if the season ended today:

First Round - Tuesday, March 10
(12) Georgia Tech vs. (13) Virginia Tech -- 1 p.m., ESPN 2 / ACC Network
(11) Wake Forest vs. (14) Boston College -- 3 p.m., ESPN2 / ACC Network

Second Round - Wednesday, March 11
(8) Clemson vs. (9) N.C. State -- Noon, ESPN / ACC Network
(5) North Carolina vs. (12) Georgia Tech / (13) Virginia Tech winner -- 2 p.m., ESPN / ACC Network
(7) Miami vs. (10) Florida State -- 7 p.m., ESPN / ACC Network
(6) Pittsburgh vs. (11) Wake Forest / (14) Boston College winner -- 9 p.m., ESPN / ACC Network

Quarterfinals - Thursday, March 12
(1) Virginia vs. (8) Clemson / (9) N.C. State winner -- Noon, ESPN2 / ACC Network
(4) Louisville vs. (5) North Carolina / (12) Georgia Tech / (13) Virginia Tech winner -- 2 p.m., ESPN 2 / ACC Network
(2) Duke vs. (7) Miami / (10) Florida State -- 7 p.m., ESPN / ACC Network
(3) Notre Dame vs. (6) Pittsburgh / (11) Wake Forest / (14) Boston College winner -- 9 p.m., ESPN / ACC Network

Boston College is still locked into that 11 vs. 14 #therivalry matchup with Wake Forest, though that could change with remaining games against Virginia Tech and Wake Forest. If BC got past Wake, they'd be looking at a second round game against Pitt.
