Who's gonna win the division? These 3 play each other over 3 weeks starting on Nov 29th.
 
To me it looks like UNC is playing well right now. Ignore their season opening brain fart that they should've one and they could be 6-0 right now.

I think Pitt and Duke will not get it done against them.
 
Poll fail. Who gives a öööö is not an option.
 
5-3 has won the coastal before. We're not dead yet, just need Miami to get in there instead of Duke or Pitt.

4-4 hasn't though. But hey, wheel of destiny, etc, etc.

You never know. With Notre Dame, Clemson, and FSU on our schedule, this wasn't the year to get by with sucking a little less.
 
This is the year of opposites in the Coastal division. GT finally gets respect, so we öööö our pants and finish 2nd to last in the division. The media finally realized that UNC was overrated every single year since expansion and ranked them accordingly. Naturally, UNC then goes 6-2 in conference and wins the division.

Paul Johnson's offense runs on disrespect, anger and hatred. It is the dark side of the force.
 
VT only has 2 ACC losses, they could win out and still go, as long as Miami picks up 1 more loss after Clemson.

Yeah it isn't strictly a 3 team race just yet, but I just get the feeling one of these teams is going to dominate the rest of their schedule. We all thought going into the year that it would be Duke, but UNC is definitely looking tough, and I think I called it early on with my man crush on Marquise Williams.


And for those of you that don't care, well that's cool, but some of us are really into football and like to think about how our division will pan out even in our absence.

I wouldn't call being into ACC football "being really into football".
 
What I want are some more 5 team tiebreaker scenarios. Are we mathematically eliminated yet?
 
Our bestest most likeliest path to the ACC championship game:

Pitt is 3-0, and we need them to lose all 5 remaining games to avoid a tiebreaker with them.

Duke is 2-0 and we need them to lose 5 of their 6 remaining games to avoid a tiebreaker with them. Given that we need Pitt to lose to them, that means we need Duke to lose to UNC.

UNC is 2-0 and we need them to lose 5 of their 6 remaining games to avoid a tiebreaker with them. Given that we need both Pitt and Duke to lose to them, this is impossible. Therefor, we need UNC to receive a postseason ban for NCAA infractions.

Miami is 1-1 and we would win a tiebreaker over them if they lost 3 additional games including ours. Since we cannot allow them to lose to UNC, PITT, or Duke, we need them to drop games against Clemson and UVA.

UVA is 1-1 and we would win a tiebreaker over them if they lost 3 additional games including ours. Since we cannot allow them to lose to UNC, Pitt, Duke, or Miami, we need them to drop games against Louisville and VT.

VT is 1-2 and we would win a tiebreaker over them if they lost 2 additional games including ours. Since we cannot allow them to lose to UNC, Pitt, Duke, Miami, or UVA, we need them to lose to Boston College.

We're in!
 
Give up that pipe dream. We are 0-4 right now. 4-4 is not going to win the division. We will lose tiebreakers to Duke, UNC, and Pitt.

Beat FSU, UGA, and this season will be redeemed somewhat.

Even a voluntary ban would work amirite?

You, sir, are an optimist's optimist.

Honestly we should have the team travel to Charlotte and be ready just in case anything should happen to prevent UNC from employing its chosen method of transportation. God forbid.
