A close (albeit long) look at ACC tiebreak scenarios

While looking at this again this afternoon, our path to Charlotte can be boiled down to the following in order of preference:

1. Go Jackets!
2. Go Canes!
3. Go Hokies!

If all 3 teams win out their ACC games (except where this order of preference rules head to head), we should be playing in Charlotte on 12/1.

Thank you for this. You wouldn't happen to be running for president any time soon? You've got my vote.

No problem.

I wouldn't want the job with today's state of politics.

And we also need Duke to lose at least one game, but they play Clemson and have only about a 3% chance of winning out, so I'm chalking that part up as a given.

I habitually add "F Duke" as a line item to the end of every list, so I didn't even notice it was missing.
 
I think it's unlikely that we would beat Clemson in the ACCCG, but we'd go without high expectations, so not much disappointment. It would be a fun trip to Charlotte and anything could happen, probably a closer game than expected like in 2014. A lot of the bowls are too far away and unappealing for me (Detroit, NY, Shreveport, El Paso). The ACCCG would be an extra game an easy drive from Atlanta and a great turnaround for a season that seemed disastrous a month ago.

So let's assume the chaos theory happens. We beat UVA and UGA, Pitt loses to Wake and Miami, what happens then?

Someone still gets killed by Clemson?

However, I do think that right now we have the best chance to beat Clemson. I really do. Seriously. Not that we would beat them, I just feel like it would be the closest game.
 
Beat the Hoos; then the dwags

Errything else is gravy ...

I think it’s still possible we can have a 3 way tie with GT Pitt and UVA, but Pitt would win because it’s beat both teams head to head
