After its win over N.C. State on Wednesday night, Georgia Tech will be the 10th, 11th or 12th seed in the ACC tournament starting Tuesday in Charlotte, N.C.
At 6-12 in the league, the Jackets can either finish alone in 10th or tied with Miami and/or Boston College, which are both 5-12 and play this weekend.
Miami plays at Virginia Tech on Friday night and Boston College will be home Saturday against N.C. State. In the event of Miami and Boston College winning to get to 6-12 and causing a three-way tie, Boston College will be the No. 10 seed, Miami the No. 11 seed and Tech the No. 12 seed.
If Miami wins and Boston College loses, Miami will be No. 10, Tech No. 11 and Boston College No. 12. If Boston College wins and Miami loses, Tech will be the No. 10 seed. If both lose, Tech will also be the No. 10 seed.
At least by the metrics of KenPom, the most likely scenario is that both Miami and Boston College lose, meaning Tech would be the No. 10 seed and play the No. 15 seed at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, the same day as the 11-14 and 12-13 games.
The No. 14 and 15 seeds will be determined by Saturday’s Pitt-Notre Dame game at Pitt. The winner will be the No. 14 seed, and the loser will be the No. 15 seed.
