I think people are too quick to count out the middle of the pack in the ACC.
 
We only need to look back 3 years ago when 6 of the 12 other teams made the tourney.
 
2010
Pitt - 3 seed
Notre Dame  - 6 seed
Clemson - 7 seed
Florida St - 9 seed
Wake Forest - 9 seed
Georgia Tech - 10 seed
Virginia Tech - The Seth Whine
 
[B]I think Clemson, Wake and Georgia Tech are they key to whether the ACC will be ultimately top heavy or deep[/B].   Those team were fairly consistent NCAA teams for a long time (with a few dry period).   But they didn't just miss tournaments recently - they almost went down to Rutgirls level.     Clemson seems to have reached a solid level again.   GT and Wake are improving but are not even NIT Level yet.   
 
In terms of the teams that missed that year - Miami, NC St, Virginia have made it since.    I think NC St and Virginia are sustainable as teams making the tourney fairly regularly.     NC St has the resources and make the tourney enough recently (but have underachieved).  Virginia has been a tourney team fairly regularly this decade, and have a good coach who runs a solid mid level program.
 
I think Boston College and Virginia Tech are pretty much the Rutgers and DePaul of the ACC.    I am also concerned about Miami being a consistent bum -  everything just worked out last year.
