I'll preface by stating my scepticism of the following scenarios playing out --but for the most part what follows IMO is the most realistic week-by-week scenario in order for the ACCCG to place GT on the marquee in 2007.

Week of 10/20
UVA .. 3-0 ...@ MD -L
VT .... 3-0
GT .... 2-3
UNC .. 1-2
UM .... 1-2 ... @ FSU -L
DU .... 0-4

Week of 10/27
VT .... 3-0 ... v BC -L
UVA .. 3-1 ... @NCSt -L
GT .... 2-3
UNC .. 1-2 ... @ WF -L
UM .... 1-3
DU .... 0-4 ... @ FSU -L

A very important week for GT and it's a bye week. The significance of the games in read will magnify as we move along.

Week of 11/03
VT .... 3-1 ... @ GT -L
UVA .. 3-2 ... v WF -L
GT .... 2-3 ... v VT -W
UNC .. 1-3 ... v MD -W
UM .... 1-3 ... v NCSt -W
DU .... 0-5 ... v CU -L

Week of 11/10
VT .... 3-2 ... v FSU -W
UVA .. 3-3 ... @ UM -L
GT .... 3-3 ... @ DU -W
UNC .. 2-3 ... @ NCSt -W
UM .... 2-3 ... v UVA -W
DU .... 0-6 ... v GT -L

Not a good place to be in --trailing two teams in the standings and you have completed head-to-head against both.

Week of 11/17
VT .... 4-2 ... v UM -W
GT .... 4-3 ... v UNC -W
UNC .. 3-3 ... @ GT -L
UM .... 3-3 ... @ VT -L
UVA .. 3-4
DU .... 0-7

Week of 11/24
VT .... 5-2 ... @ UVA -L
GT .... 4-3 ... v UNC -W
UVA .. 3-4 ... v VT -W
UNC .. 3-4 ... v DU -W
UM .... 3-4 ... @ BC -L
DU .... 0-7 ... @ UNC -L

It's asking a lot for the scenario to play out with UVA losing every game and then turning around and defeating VT.

Final Standings (?)
GT .... 5-3
VT .... 5-3
UVA .. 4-4
UNC .. 4-4
UM .... 3-5
DU .... 0-8

Of course various scenarios could play out to move GT to the top of the Coastal --but again, this IMO is about as realistic a set-up that I can come up with.

Back to the week of 10/27 --I really don't know if NCSt is capable of defeating UVA. As for VT v BC the same weekend --other than @ CU (maybe) this will be BC's biggest remaining ACC test. If VT were to win this game and then all bets are off for this scenario.

If VT were to lose to BC but UVA win against NCSt --then ditto this scenario-- GT, VT & UVA would end in a three-way tie. VT would be out at 0-2 vs GT & UVA, GT & UVA would be 1-1 with UVA holding the edge over GT.
 
The more likely scenario is that VT ends up 5-3 with losses to us, BC, and FSU.

Then, as long as UVA ends up with 3 losses (at least 2 in divisonal play) we still go to the ACCCG.

BTW, you have UVA playing Maryland twice.

Thanks GTK --I had written this down prior to typing and looked at "UM" and typed 'MD' instead of 'UM'

I don't know if VT losing three games is any more likely --basically because I cannot see FSU going to Blacksburg and winning. But with scenarios anything is --and needs to be-- assumed possible.

Has VT lost 3 ACC games in a single year since they joined the league? I think they are right on 2 loses each year, including a loss in the ACCG to FSU.

You're right. They haven't. This is why the scenario is unlikely.

VT is 7-1, 7-1 & 6-2 in conference since joining the ACC.

v BC
@ GT
V FSU
V UM
@UVA

I just don't see a third loss --in Blacksburg v FSU or on the road @ UVA.

I could see them losing to BC, GT, and either FSU or Um. Other than BC there is really no dominate team in the ACC this year, just from what i'v seen everybody is about equal.
 
Why the hell do some of you feel the need to put your "ignore list" in your signature? Man, that's soooo cool.

Who cares who you choose to ignore? The only reason I can see that you would do it is to rub it in the face of those you have ignored because they can see it but can't say anything to you..... And if that's why you do it, you need to head back to grade school and hide behind the teachers skirt.
 
The only game that will matter is BC @ VT..boys its in Blacksburg and BC could be #1

VT wins its curtains for us
by the time they get UVA the HOOS will have dropped 3 acc games
 
With the way this college football season has gone, anything can happen.

My gut says VT's defense team comes down with malaria from earlier trip to Bayou. Fever rages for 4 weeks. Third team linebackers give up school record rushing yards against BC, GT and FSU. UVA in the meantime, distracted by JCrew commercial shoot, drops the rest of their conference games. We go into UNC game with identical records and tiebreaker with VT.

But, Chan plays ball control with 2 point lead for last 15 minutes of game. Unc drives length of field with 2 minutes left to kick 28 yard field goal and win 15-14.

The highlight of game is new "Flight of the Conchords" video during timeout instead of pizza wheel.
