Costal Division Rep Possibilities

OMG that's amazing. I couldn't stop staring at how we're in every single possible combination all the way down the co-champions column, and nobody else is. Bahahahaha. CLINCHED FIRST PLACE BABY!!

I know the team does, but I hope we fans strive for more than co-champions of a division. I didn't care for the 2006 divisional champion t-shirts, but this isn't even t-shirt worthy.

I'm not thinking about the ACCCG because most of the scenarios that benefit GT involve Duke beating VT. The most plausible scenario is NCSU beating UNC, VT beating Duke, and UVA beating VT, and that combination is pretty questionable as it is.

Just beat Georgia and let the rest take care of itself. 10-3 including a bowl game win is pretty damn good for Paul Johnson's first season, and you know that Johnson isn't riding the coattails of a previous regime's recruits.

As if I don't want us to go to and win in Tampa, and as if I don't want us to beat U[sic]GA? Right.

Why can't you take a note from the players and relish in the fact that we just won the Coastal division. We may be co-champs or tri-champs or whatever (as either a player or our coach said last night), and we can't control how the tie-breaker works, but it's a damn fine job for this team to have clinched first place last night. Sure, it's not as awesome as winning the ACC entirely (which is still possible), but it's a damn good thing.

It's like as fans we can't even celebrate the fact that our first year everything just clinched a top spot in our division. Instead, it "doesn't matter" and blah blah blah. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to wait until we go undefeated and win the national championship to celebrate. I can imagine us concluding the regular season and people going "Stop celerating it doesn't matter at all until we win the national championship." Gimme a break.
 
For those of you who don't want to sort through the diagram, here is everything laid out in the most straightforward manner possible.

Here's how the 5 remaining teams can still make it to the championship, and what to watch for this weekend.

- Virginia Tech.
To win: All it has to do is win at Duke and VA.
Tiebreakers: VT wins all tiebreakers.
To get eliminated this weekend: VT loses to Duke.

- Georgia Tech.
To win: UNC loses against NC State or Duke, and either Virginia loses to Clemson and wins against VT, or VT loses against Duke and wins against VT.
Tiebreakers: GT loses all tie-breakers except a straght head-to-head vs. Miami.
To get eliminated this weekend: Both VA and VT win vs. Clemson and Duke.
**: While highly unlikely, Georgia Tech can clinch the division if UNC, VT, and VA all lose. It is the only team that can do so this weekend.

- Miami
To win: Miami has to win out, and so does Virginia. UNC also has to lose vs. Duke or NC State.
Tiebreakers: Miami wins if Miami, Virginia, and GT get in a three-way, and loses any other way.
To get eliminated this weekend: VA loses to Clemson.

- Virginia
To win: Virginia has to win out, and either Miami loses to NC State or UNC loses to Duke or NC State.
Tiebreakers: Virginia wins a four-way between GT, Miami, UNC, and Virginia, as well as a three way excluding Miami, and loses all others.
To get eliminated this weekend: VA loses to Clemson.

- UNC
To win: UNC wins out, and VT and VA lose one apiece, meaning either Virginia loses to Clemson and wins against VT, or VT loses against Duke and wins against VT.
Tiebreakers: UNC wins against GT or GT and Miami, but loses all others.
To get eliminated this weekend: UNC loses to NC State or VA and VT both win.

That's it. It's no longer a mess. These are the only scenarios that are left.
