7. Miami
8. Pittsburgh
9. Clemson
10. Florida State

– Virginia has earned the ACC Tournament's #1 seed.
– Duke will be the tournament #2 seed with one more win over its final two games (Wake Forest and at Carolina). The Blue Devils have locked up on of the tournament's top 4 seeds and double-bye (as Carolina can't catch Duke at this point).
– Virginia, Duke, Notre Dame, Louisville and North Carolina are locked into the tournament's top 5 seed. One of Notre Dame, Louisville or Carolina will fall out of the top 4 / double-bye spots.
– North Carolina State pulls ahead of Miami, Pitt and Clemson with the Pack's 66-61 victory over Clemson. The Wolfpack would currently be the #6 seed.
– Miami and Pitt are tied at 8-8. They face one another on Wednesday. If the season ended today, Miami would be the 7 seed and Pitt the 8 based on the Hurricanes' victory over Duke. (Pitt's best win is a victory over the current 3rd place team.)
– Wake Forest will be the ACC Tournament #11 seed and will face either Virginia Tech or Georgia Tech in the 11-14 game on Tuesday.
– Boston College will be the ACC Tournament #12 seed. BC owns the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Jackets by virtue of a 64-62 win at Tech back on January 25. BC also owns the three-way tiebreaker with Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech, with a 2-0 record against both those teams.
– Georgia Tech is already in the clubhouse with a conference record of 3-15. The Yellow Jackets will be the #13 seed with a Virginia Tech loss to Miami, and the #14 seed with a Hokies victory.
– Virginia Tech will be the #13 seed with a win over Miami in the finale, and the #14 seed with a loss.
