Selection Sunday has arrived and Virginia Tech is set to make back-to-back NCAA Tournaments for only the third time in program history. The Hokies should end up in the 8-9 seed range of the bracket with a 7 seed not being ruled out by some due in part to their impressive group of four wins over teams in the top of the RPI.
However, a 7 seed seems unlikely with VT just about set for an 8-9 matchup for the second-straight season. With only five conference championship games remaining, there are no games that could really affect the Hokies' seeding unless Rhode Island gets beat by Davidson badly enough to significantly push them down the S-curve.
With all that said, here are some of the final bracket projections ahead of tonight's Selection Show.
- Bracket Matrix: 8
- ESPN: 8
- CBS: 8
- Shelby Mast (of USA Today): 8
- SB Nation: 8
- NBC Sports: 8
- Bleacher Report: 7
- The Athletic: 9
