ACC now: 6 NIT bids, not 6 NCAA bids

Before the season started the ACC looked like a 6-7 bid conference and some people were even discussing that it would be unfair that with 7 bids one of FSU or VA would be left out.

Well, at this very moment it looks like there are 4 solid NCAA teams in the ACC (NC,WF,GaT,Duke), and 7 ...NIT teams! Maryland, NC State and Virginia are struggling, while Clemson, FSU and Miami all look like they are heading for the NIT. Virginia Tech seems to be the lone team with a losing record.

Of course things will probably change when the rest of the ACC games are played. Maryland has been having Gilchrist issues, NC State can't get a win, and Virginia is a ...Pete Gillen team. Don't look now but if Miami continues to win like that they may start thinking not just NIT, but NCAA bubble!

But in all likelihood the ACC will have at least 5 teams in the NCAAs, probably 6, and perhaps 7 if a bubble team wins the ACC tournament.
