ACC Basketball: Predicting the Final Stretch

Its hard to believe, but selection Sunday is just 25 days away. Still many questions remain in the ACC. 

Going team by team and predicting their remaining games, including the ACC tournament and whether or not that team will make the tourney.

North Carolina:
vs. NC State, Win
@ Maryland, Win
vs. Georgia Tech, Win
@ Virginia Tech, Win
vs. Duke, Loss 
Regular Season: 13-3
Clearly the top team in the ACC. As usual they will spilt the season series with Duke.

Duke:
vs. Wake, Win
@ Maryland, Loss
@ Virginia Tech, Loss
vs. Florida State, Win
@ North Carolina, Win
Regular Season: 10-6 
Duke has been playing poorly of late. I think the trend continues with back-to-back losses at Maryland and Virginia Tech.

Clemson:
@ Georgia Tech, Loss
vs. Virginia Tech, Win
@ Florida State, Win
vs. Virginia, Win
@ Wake Forest, Loss
Regular Season: 10-6 
Clemson escaped Boston College with great help from Terrence Ogelsby. Clemson has a tough time at the Georgia Dome and looses a heart breaker to Wake.

Wake Forest:
vs. Georgia Tech, Win
@ Duke, Loss
vs. NC State, Win
@ Virginia, Win
@ Maryland, Win
vs. Clemson, Win
Regular Season: 11-5
Wake regains its balance after stumbling slightly. They will lose to Duke. Duke doesn't lose to the same team in one season.

Boston College:
@ Miami, Win
vs. Florida State, Win
@ NC State, Win
vs. Georgia Tech, Loss
Regular Season: 10-6  
Georgia Tech gave BC a tough time earlier in the year. BC handles Miami and Florida State, as they stay hot off their upset over Duke.

Virginia Tech:
@ Virginia, Loss
vs. Florida State, Win
@ Clemson, Loss
vs. Duke, Win
vs. North Carolina, Loss
@ Florida State, Loss
Regular Season: 8-8
After playing the soft part of the schedule already, Virginia Tech struggles to maintain as competition increases. FSU, Clemson, Duke, UNC, and FSU again isn't the ideal way to close out ACC play. Considering VT is only 6-4 in the ACC during the easy stretch doesn't say much, but overrated.

Florida State:
vs. Miami, Loss
@ Virginia Tech, Loss
@ BC, Loss
vs. Clemson, Loss
@ Duke, Loss
vs. Virginia Tech, Win
Regular Season: 7-9
FSU, another overrated ACC team. Like Virginia Tech they have the toughest games ahead.

Miami:
@ Florida State, Win
vs. BC, Loss
@ Virginia, Win
@ Georgia Tech, Win
vs. NC State, Win
Regular Season: 8-8
Miami has lost too many close games this year. They will get their footing and string together some wins as the schedule softens up.

Maryland:
vs. North Carolina, Loss
vs. Duke, Win
@ NC State, Win
vs. Wake Forest, Loss
@ Virginia, Win
Regular Season: 8-8
Maryland has a moderate schedule to end the season, but they do just enough to improve their ACC standing.

NC State:
@ North Carolina, Loss
vs. Virginia, Win
@ Wake Forest, Loss
vs. Maryland, Loss
vs. BC, Loss
@ Miami, Loss
Regular Season: 5-11
NC State's struggles continue. The schedule gets tougher and State fails to keep up with the rest of the league for the second straight year.

Virginia:
