Yes. And because of who we play, probably easily. 20-11; 10-10
The worst three losses we could have down the stretch would be @Louisville, FSU and @GT. But that means we'd snag Q1 wins @Miami, @Duke, vs UVA to go with our already sorta tournament sufficient haul.
On the flipside, if we lose all of those 3 best shots at Q1 wins, then we have only the single bad loss @BC on our resume. Plus we would snag solid Q2-style wins over Miami and Pitt at home to go with the 5 we already have.
Now, all that said, 8-3 is gonna be tough. VT is winless on the road all year. We go to Miami, GT, ND, Duke and Louisville to close out the year. We would need to get at least 3 of those to have a shot, because I don't think we win out at home.

8-3 down the stretch and 2 ACCT wins get us a bid?

conference tournament results don't factor into NCAA selections

The ACCT doesn’t matter unless you win it or lose a bad one first game

My point on ACCT was more about avoiding an early loss
