Throughout the softball season the question of how strong, or in this case, weak is ACC softball. The latest poll pretty much indicates that. Only FSU is in the top 25 of the USA Today/NFCA Coaches poll and FSU is 10th. The only other ACC team to make the NCAA tournament for this year is Notre Dame. Both Pitt and UNC had better conference records than Notre Dame, but Notre Dame had an rpi of 42, second only to FSU's 5 conference wise. FSU is the number 8 seed. Notre Dame is in the Kentucky bracket, Kentucky being the number 16 seed.
