That feels so strange reading that.
Iām also surprised at GTās showing

How are any teamsā playoff chances lower than their conference championship chances? I guess when the ACC Champ is the 6th highest ranked conference championship? The spread for Duke seems too big if thatās the only factor though.

Scheduling could be a big deal. That the UVA-Duke game happens to be at Duke could specifically be responsible for that big a spread.

Jonas Sanker getting some love from ESPNās Ben Solak. Thereās a whole thread of tweets praising his performance against the Giants Sunday, but this is the most effusive.

We have no chance

My guess is because one of those teams, presumably GT in that model, will play in but lose the ACC Championship game, knocking their chances of getting in the tournament.

Iām surprised nobody is really talking about the injuries to our O line, and how poorly our back-ups played, almost costing us the game. Biggest question is what will their status be for the remainder of the seasonā¦ this will determine whether we end with 8, or 10.

Yeah weāre headed towards being roughly a 4 point underdog for that game now

Which starting OL are missing from the beginning of the season?
Boley got hurt right before halftime and Wilsonās been out 2 games. Unambaās out, but I feel like he wasnāt playing well before the injury and Witmer mightāve won the job from him regardless. Mills was hurt in the Spring, so he doesnāt count.

No, I meant the spread between Dukeās chances of winning the ACC and Dukeās chances of making the playoff. The top 5 conference champs have autobids into the playoff, so that chartās saying that Duke has an 18% chance of winning the ACC, but a 9.3% chance of making the playoff, so almost half the time that Duke would win the ACC, theyād be at best the 6th highest ranked conference champs, behind at least 2 G5 teams.

Our full projection sheet isnāt out yet, but Ford now has us as the most likely second place team with a slightly better chance to win 7 or 8 conference games than Duke. Duke playing Clemson and GT (in back to back weeks, no less) is probably our saving grace. I guess we want them to lose both of those? But a loss to GT just puts GT there but closer I would assume.
I think I am officially on team āUVa and GT both win out, GT gets the ACCCG spot while we watch from home at 11-1ā and then we get to go to Tuscaloosa or something and get the doors blown off us (I would absolutely attend).

Yeah, good point. Though, its still plausible. If Dukeās remaining schedule is really easy, such that theyāve got some huge chance of winning out and that by itself makes them prohibitive favorites to get a championship game slot, despite being very weak compared to other potential conference champs. Then even if theyāre huge dogs to Miami theyāll still probably win 20-25% of the time while being worse than almost all other conference champs, and I could see those numbers working out.
Soā¦ I can construct a scenario around that which might be plausible, but ESPNās own numbers donāt back it up. Their FPI thinks Duke is overall a better team than us, but handicapped by a tougher schedule, which is the opposite of the scenario I had. And they think its a lot less likely us or GT get hosed by the system like Duke does in that scenario.
I guess they think Duke is better than us, and more likely to win the ACC, yet they also think everyone else thinks Duke sucks (which Iām ok with) and will view the ACC more poorly than if us or GT win. Its the only explanation I can think of.

Iām kind of impressed they only have Stanford as the 4th worst team in the ACC. I mean, I get that scheduling is part of it, but Stanford is pretty darn bad for there to be 3 teams below them.

This is my new dream scenario if Iām being honest. Skip the ACCG sneak into a Rn1 game at 11-1 and I enjoy a helluva good time on Dec 20 in a SEC or Big10 town.
