I think these are right. I think.
Someone out there will let me know if it's not. But for lack of someone else doing them, here's the ACC tournament tiebreakers heading into the final weekend of games. Those six contests include N.C. State-Wake; Carolina-Duke; Miami-Florida State; Georgia Tech-Boston College; Virginia Tech-Clemson; and Maryland-Virginia.
NORTH CAROLINA will be the No. 1 seed with a victory at Duke on Saturday. The Tar Heels will be the No. 2 seed with a loss.
DUKE will be the No. 1 seed with a victory over North Carolina on Saturday. The Blue Devils will be the No. 2 seed with a loss.
CLEMSON will be the No. 3 seed with a victory over Virginia Tech. The Tigers will be the No. 4 seed with a loss AND a Miami loss. Clemson will be the No. 5 seed with a loss AND a Miami win. (Maryland is irrelevant in a three-way tie with Clemson and Miami, since it went 0-2 against those teams).
