I don't see how UNC doesn't get a #1 honestly. They deserve it. They played the toughest schedule and are playing great right now.

UVa? Well i wouldn't be surprised to see them fall to a 2. The out of conf schedule was weak.

I don't agree that we have a #1 locked up right now. If we lose tonight - we are on the bubble for a 1 - imo. UNC would have just as good a claim as we would. we have to win to get the number 1.

So if Duke wins

Duke
UNC
UK/UT winner
UVa

Wow, # ACC teams - could it happen?

Zero doubt that both Duke and UVA are on the top line right now. Zero.

Right now - I agree.

what do you think about the possibility of 3 ACC teams as a number 1?

I’ll rephrase it then....zero doubt Duke and UVA move off the one line.

I do think it’s possible the ACC gets three top seeds. But I feel as though the SEC champ, if it’s UT or UK, is probably a one seed. I’m not sure I see the Zags dropping to a two.

If by right now, you mean in all possible future universes, then you are likely correct. If by right now, you mean pending another win by us tonight, then you are wrong. NO ONE (except maybe you it seems) think we aren't a lock for a 1 if not a lock for the top overall spot. We aren't going to be a 2.
As for 3 ACC teams, UVA and Duke are locks. (again, that means all possible future universes) Many here I'm sure would agree that UNC could (and maybe should) end up a 1 as well. I think it will be UK and Gonzaga, but honestly, if it were up to me and I'm removing bias, I would put UNC in there over Gonzaga.
