Forgive me if this has been asked/answered, but with a Miami win vs. Cuse, and a UNC loss vs. Duke, Miami gets the 3 seed, right?

which of those teams would qualify as a neutral quad 1 win if we beat them in the tourney (as the rankings are now)?

Right, and Miami crushed UNC, so Miami gets 3 and we would face UNC on Thursday if we take care of business Wednesday?head-to-head would come into play

When Georgia hired Harrick away from Rhode Island in April 1999, he nearly changed his mind when the school wouldn't let him bring his son, Jim Harrick Jr., as an assistant coach because of nepotism rules. Once Harrick waffled, Georgia officials were ready to withdraw the job offer and instead hire Delaware coach Mike Brey. But Dooley was visiting a Civil War battlefield in Virginia and didn't have good cell service. By the time Dooley was reached, Harrick had changed his mind again and accepted the job.

ND isn't on the bubble. Lunardi had them as an 8 seed. As long as they beat Pitt, they're in.
And watch out for FSU in the tourney. They've had a lot of injuries, which explains why their record is what it is, but some of their young guys are starting to step it up. I could see them making an ACC tourney run.
ESPN agrees:
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
Bubble Watch can report confidently that the Wake Forest offense is outstanding at home against opponents that won't earn an at-large bid. In blowout wins over Louisville and NC State, the Demon Deacons scored 200 points in 80 minutes of basketball. That nets out to 1.39 points per possession, and it was Daivien Williamson who set the pace against the Wolfpack with 28 points. The Deacons appear to have wrapped up at least a No. 10 seed in what will be the program's first NCAA tournament appearance in five years. (updated Mar. 3)
Barring a blowout loss in the first round of the ACCT, I think we're in too, although bad luck with bid-thieves could knock us down to the First Four. One win in the ACCT makes us a mortal lock.
As of this morning, Lunardi has ND as a 10. We're a 9.
ESPN Bubble Watch has ND under Work Left to Do. We're in Should Be In.
The Athletic Bubble Watch has ND under Work Left to Do. We're in Should Be In.
Bracket Matrix has ND in 104/112 brackets and an average seed of 10.36. We are in 106/112 brackets and an average seed of 10.22.
The unbalanced conference schedule seriously favoring ND is a problem.I gotta think it would be unprecedented for the 2nd place ACC team not to make the Dance (since the field went to 64 of course). That said, this season was the nadir of the conference in terms of overall quality.
