Let's take best case scenario and the league gets in Duke, Maryland, Wake, Clemson, Ga Tech, Va Tech, and FSU.
We're good enough that we should get through to the 2nd weekend. Hopefully that'll happen (rubbing my lucky rabbits foot to ward off evil karma).
The other 6 teams all have enough flaws and inconsistent play to get bounced in the first or second round. At best, Maryland may get a 4 seed. Everyone else is going to be 5 through 10 seeds. Tough 1st round opponents followed by tough second round opponents. Say Wake or VT is a 5 seed...I'm picking the 12, no question!
I hope I'm wrong...but I wouldn't be at all surprised if Duke was the only ACC team to make the sweet 16. Maryland probably has the best chance otherwise.
