[I]Syracuse will only be the seven or the eight seed in the ACC Tournament.

The most likely scenario is as the eight seed. Syracuse has split with both Clemson and North Carolina, both of whom have one game left. If either loses, the ACC record would tie Syracuse's. The tiebreaker after head to head is record against the team occupying the highest position in the regular season standings would determine the seeding. Both North Carolina and Clemson beat Florida State, who is currently in the top spot (and will clinch it with wins over Boston College and Notre Dame in its final two regular season games).

There is an outside chance Syracuse could move up to the seven seed. Clemson plays Pittsburgh on Saturday and North Carolina plays Duke. If both lose, then Syracuse, Clemson and North Carolina would all be 9-7 in conference. In that scenario, a three team conference is created where their records against each other determines seeding. Clemson is 2-1 against North Carolina and Syracuse this season. Syracuse is 2-2. North Carolina is 1-2.

That would put Clemson as the six seed, Syracuse as the seven and North Carolina as the eight.

Pittsburgh is missing two of its best players as they entered the transfer portal recently, and the Panthers winning at Clemson does not seem likely. Sports are funny, however. [/I]
