UNC will not be up for the last spot on Sunday. That's the point.

And if VT doesn't win 4 more they aren't going to be "up" for that spot either. The competition for that spot is not between VT and UNC (or Wake). Both of them are easily in as long as they don't choke. Easily.

The last spots are between VT and: teams like Miami, Oklahoma, Memphis, Wash St, Miss St., Kansas St., Dayton, Rutgers and several mid-majors.

The reason these top teams (who will most likely end up with 22+ wins) keep getting mentioned as "on the bubble" is to get panic-clicks by their fans.

UNC is currently a Quad 2 for us -- MVIII 02/15/2022 2:06PM

But they are still a very dangerous team -- EDGEMAN 02/15/2022 11:30AM

Indeed, they are 0-7, but they are undefeated against Q2-4 -- hoosnowahokie 02/15/2022 11:13AM

All they have to do is win the 4 of their 6 remaining games in which they -- King of Hokies 02/15/2022 10:45AM

The ACC could sweep every 11 seed this year! ** -- MVIII 02/15/2022 09:56AM

From a lower seed perspective, 11 not a bad deal this year -- Vienna_Hokie 02/15/2022 1:13PM

The 11 is a great place to be, hope we end up there! ** -- MVIII 02/15/2022 1:58PM

16 would be fine this year TBH...was out of the question 2 weeks ago ** -- Vienna_Hokie 02/15/2022 2:00PM

UNC biggest game of the season, UVa is a crap team we just had to get by -- soflahokie 02/15/2022 09:48AM

UNC is not a bubble team unless they collapse. Lunardi is an idiot. -- King of Hokies 02/15/2022 10:29AM

Their name is North Carolina. They're in the tournament. ** -- hoosnowahokie 02/15/2022 10:32AM

It has nothing to do with their name. They are likely to end up #2 or #3 in -- King of Hokies 02/15/2022 10:39AM

I'm half joking, but name recognition helps a lot. ** -- hoosnowahokie 02/15/2022 11:14AM

Just look at women's BB for that -- EDGEMAN 02/15/2022 11:32AM

Yes it does. But UNC isn't going to get in on name recognition. They aren't -- King of Hokies 02/15/2022 11:20AM

Yep. -- EDGEMAN 02/15/2022 11:33AM

UNC will not be up for the last spot on Sunday. That's the point. -- King of Hokies 02/15/2022 11:19AM

If last spot is ever on the line UNC will always be chosen over VT. ** -- Hokester 02/15/2022 2:11PM
