VT is 13-1. Duke is 14-2.

Duke has 6 ACC games left. Duke should win all 6, for a final record of 20-2.

VT has 9 ACC games left. VT must win all 8 of the 9 to be top seeded at the tournament with a 21-2 ACC record. If they go 7-2, they will finish 20-3. In that case Duke would be seeded #1 and VT #2. Remember, VT had 1 ACC game cwith Pitt cancelled due to weather, and Duke had 2 ACC games with ND cancelled due to weather.

The team that finishes #1 will likely get FSU in the semi-finals, while the team that finished #2 will most likely get ND. Given this possibility, where would you prefer VT finish in the regular season, #1 or #2?
