I ran through if the favorite wins each game, and obviously that's unlikely to play out but it gives us a good baseline...

1. Duke
2. UNC
3. UVA
4. Wake
5. Clemson
6. Pitt
7. FSU
8. Cuse

If the favorites win every game, BUT we beat NC State on the road OR Clemson on the road as an underdog, we jump to 6th and our second ACCT game would be against Wake, a Q1 game. Obviously Duke would also be a Q1 game but way tougher. If we win out and all the other favorites win every game, we would get the 5 seed, and our second game would be UVA. Also Q1 but I'd rather play Wake than UVA I think.

Of course, the wins at NC State and Clemson would both be Q1 wins, so bring on the 5 seed if we can win out.

Also if we end up as a 5 or 6, we may be rooting for the favorite in the game we're playing the winner of, to keep it a Q2 game.

Of course, the remaining question is, "is there a path to a double bye?" Yes, if we win out and all the favorites hold we end up in a 3-way tie with Wake and UVA for third. We lose the tiebreakers. So we would need to win out and have Wake or UVA to lose a game they're favored in. Like for example we win out, Pitt beats Wake or Va Tech beats UVA, we're the 4, both happen, we're the 3.

Of course that's super unlikely. We're probably going to be somewhere between the 6 and the 9, outside chance at the 5, very very longshot chance at the 3.
