2 would be enough -- it would not be "at least" if we are 11-7.  For the ACC tourney, I am going to assume the path would be Georgia Tech, Notre Dame, and Virginia.  That would give us an RPI of 30,

I know RPI is not the end all (it's a show me what else have you done number), but if you are in the top 40 from a power conference its very hard to be left out because you will have more other resume stuff than most bubble teams.

I played around with the Wizard for a bit and came up with.

9-4, 11-7, 2 Tourney Wins = RPI 30
9-4, 10-8, 2 Tourney Wins = RPI 42
9-4, 10-8, 1 Tourney Win = RPI 50
9-4, 11-7, 1 Tourney Win = RPI 43

With our lack of one quality OOC win, I think we have a shot of getting in (or being out) in all other scenarios.   I think 11-7, 2 ACC wins, is our breathe easy target.   I think one less combined win puts us in good shape,,, but no guarantee.

What we will need to help us out in our resume besides our base W/L record is avoid sub 100 losses, and get some pod level scalps at home.

Nova hurt because it's a lost opportunity.   But it's not a killer, as it showed we are playing better and our capable of getting 2 nice scalps the rest of the way (especially at home)
