If UNC cannot beat Duke on Saturday, it is most likely there are 4 way tie on the bottom four.

11. Pitt (mini 3-2)
12/13. Miami/Wake Forest (both 2-2)
14. UNC (2-3)

If we are No. 5 seed, we will play the winner of Miami/Wake Forest and avoid UNC which I think it is the fifth best team of ACC right now.
 
Assume no surprise, all NC State, Notre Dame and Clemson will finish 10-10 three way tie.
6. NC State (mini 2-1)
7. Notre Dame (1-1)
8. Clemson (1-2)

6. NC State will face 11/14 winner which should be 14. UNC.

If Clemson finishes at 10-10, Ga Tech also finishes at 10-10. Now you have a 4 way mini-conference to determine 3 seeds.
 
The 4 seed will either be UVA if they lose to Lville on Saturday or it will be Duke if UVA beats Lville.

Duke would obviously be a better win for us and maybe good enough to get into the tourney if we beat Miami, win the first game of the acc tourney, then beat Duke? Plus it might get more traction as ESPN is covering the semifinals on Friday night that it might be tough to leave out the 5th best team in the acc that just beat Duke so that the 10th and 11th team from the Big 10 could get in.

If it is UVA as the 4 seed then I think we have to beat UVA and the one seed, FSU to get in.
