13 | Wake Forest | 0.5935 |
14 | Boston College | 0.5100 |
15 | Va Tech | 0.4641 |
This was then used to determine the straightforward probabilities for each team making it to each round of the ACC Tournament:
Note: The Log5 formula is used to determine each game's win probabilities
Seed | Team | 2nd Round | Quarters | Semis | Final | Champion |
1 | Virginia | 100.00% | 100.00% | 78.72% | 54.28% | 27.14% |
8 | Maryland | 100.00% | 48.61% | 10.11% | 3.77% | 1.89% |
9 | FSU | 100.00% | 51.39% | 11.17% | 4.31% | 2.15% |
4 | North Carolina | 100.00% | 100.00% | 58.47% | 23.23% | 11.62% |
5 | Pitt | 100.00% | 73.72% | 35.07% | 13.18% | 6.59% |
12 | Wake Forest | 44.92% | 10.83% | 2.43% | 0.42% | 0.21% |
13 | Notre Dame | 55.08% | 15.45% | 4.04% | 0.81% | 0.40% |
2 | Syracuse | 100.00% | 100.00% | 77.58% | 36.83% | 18.41% |
7 | NC St | 100.00% | 59.31% | 14.43% | 3.49% | 1.75% |
10 | Miami FL | 70.22% | 32.67% | 7.14% | 1.57% | 0.78% |
15 | Va Tech | 29.78% | 8.03% | 0.85% | 0.10% | 0.05% |
3 | Duke | 100.00% | 100.00% | 83.53% | 53.29% | 26.64% |
6 | Clemson | 100.00% | 65.42% | 12.54% | 3.91% | 1.96% |
11 | Ga Tech | 58.68% | 22.19% | 2.80% | 0.62% | 0.31% |
14 | Boston College | 41.32% | 12.39% | 1.14% | 0.19% | 0.10% |
Then, these ratings were used in a Monte Carlo simulator that simulated the tournament 10,000 times:
Virginia TOURNAMENT WIN TOTAL = 3086
Syracuse TOURNAMENT WIN TOTAL = 1887
Duke TOURNAMENT WIN TOTAL = 3074
North Carolina TOURNAMENT WIN TOTAL = 935
Pittsburgh TOURNAMENT WIN TOTAL = 508
Clemson TOURNAMENT WIN TOTAL = 108
NC St TOURNAMENT WIN TOTAL = 83
Maryland TOURNAMENT WIN TOTAL = 107
FSU TOURNAMENT WIN TOTAL = 128
Miami FL TOURNAMENT WIN TOTAL = 41
Ga Tech TOURNAMENT WIN TOTAL = 16
Wake Forest TOURNAMENT WIN TOTAL = 8
Notre Dame TOURNAMENT WIN TOTAL = 14
Boston College TOURNAMENT WIN TOTAL = 4
Va Tech TOURNAMENT WIN TOTAL = 1
# of simulations: 10000
Converting these simulations into percentages by dividing each team's number of wins by the number of simulations (10,000):
Virginia TOURNAMENT WIN PROB = 30.86%
Syracuse TOURNAMENT WIN PROB = 18.87%
Duke TOURNAMENT WIN PROB = 30.74%
North Carolina TOURNAMENT WIN PROB = 9.35%
Pittsburgh TOURNAMENT WIN PROB = 5.08%
Clemson TOURNAMENT WIN PROB = 1.08%
NC St TOURNAMENT WIN PROB = 0.83%
Maryland TOURNAMENT WIN PROB = 1.07%
FSU TOURNAMENT WIN PROB = 1.28%
Miami FL TOURNAMENT WIN PROB = 0.41%
Ga Tech TOURNAMENT WIN PROB = 0.16%
Wake Forest TOURNAMENT WIN PROB = 0.08%
Notre Dame TOURNAMENT WIN PROB = 0.14%
Boston College TOURNAMENT WIN PROB = 0.04%
Va Tech TOURNAMENT WIN PROB = 0.01%
Virginia and Duke are the clear favorites, as was originally indicated by their top 2 ratings. As noted by Ken Pomeroy, seeding has little effect on a team's chances of winning the tournament. This is illustrated here, since both teams' ratings are nearly identical and their chances of winning it all are extremely similar as well.
