Getting into the ACC Tournament is a brutal challenge, but it comes with the payoff of a likely NCAA Tournament bid.
For an ACC baseball school, getting into the NCAA Tournament is as easy as qualifying for the conference tournament. Since the first round of realignment added Boston College, Miami, and Virginia Tech to its ranks, the league's sent at least seven teams to the national tournament with a couple of exceptions where they sent six. In recent years, sending seven or eight teams has become commonplace as the league's taken a slot next to the SEC as the nation's preeminent baseball conference.
