The ACC tournament field is set, and the tournament will be played at American Legion Memorial Stadium in Charlotte. The conference only has five teams, and this year Duke is the odd man out. Even with games to be played, Duke is winless in conference and all other teams have at least two wins, so there is no way for Duke to qualify. Teams play for seeding this weekend. UVA is done with ACC play, they are 2-2. The games that impact seeds this weekend at Notre Dame vs Syracuse and Duke vs North Carolina.

[B]Notre Dame and UNC win:[/B][I] [/I]Seed order is Notre Dame, North Carolina, Syracuse, Virginia

[B]Syracuse and UNC win:[/B][I] [/I]Seed order is North Carolina, Syracuse, Virginia, Notre Dame

[B]Notre Dame and Duke win:[/B][I] [/I]Tiebreakers are needed. Notre Dame is the one seed, but UNC, Syracuse, and UVA are all 2-2 in this scenario. Record against the top team is the first tiebreaker. Virginia beat Notre Dame, while the other two both lost. So the seed order goes Notre Dame, Virginia, North Carolina, Syracuse.
