Last Eight In: Tulane, Michigan, Quinnipiac, St. John’s, Mississippi, Washington State, DePaul, South Florida
First Eight Out: Ohio State, Pittsburgh, Fresno State, Middle Tennessee, Virginia, Saint Mary’s, Vanderbilt, West Virginia
With home wins over Louisville and Wake Forest, Florida State sits at an impressive 6-1 in ACC play. Suddenly the Seminoles are a real threat to win an ACC title. The schedule from here on out is manageable too. FSU has already played Notre Dame, Duke and, of course, Louisville. They have one left at North Carolina and everything else they should be favored to win. Syracuse, who is 5-2, has an opportunity over the next couple of weeks to propel themselves into a similar situation. Their next three contests are against Louisville, Florida State and UNC. A couple wins there and the Orange will end up towards the top of the conference. While the rest of the ACC beats up on each other, those are two squads who could see their seeding shoot up between now and March.
