Could it be possible the ACC gets 3 in that way? I think it would take some help but I wouldnât rule it out

The only ACC team I care about making the CFP is UVa. I do not care if the ACC sends 1, 2 or 12 teams to the CFP as long as UVa is one of them.
I donât care about keeping the corpse of this zombie conference alive. Take whatever we can and let the rest fight for the scraps.

Florida State is not coming through for us
One of the schools we recruitâŚ. What a crazy ending.

Itâs so silly that FSU losing this game might be the difference between us making the title game/playoff and not. Hopefully nine game schedule will help a little, but please bring back divisions

If Iâm doing this right, if GT beats Pitt, SMU wins out, and we beat VPI, weâre in if two of the following happen:
UNC beats NC State
VPI beats Miami
Duke beats Wake
If only one of those happens, it goes to the computer ranking.
If none of those three happens, SMU goes to CLT.

Actually, if Miami loses to VPI, we just need one of those scenarios.
Correct though Pitt over Miami would also count since SMU played Miami. VT over Miami would count for two since we play Tech and SMU played Miami.
Also SMU is way ahead of us in all of the computers, so we almost certainly need two, which I donât feel great about.
Roughly 28% chance of a scenario where we donât control our own destiny (Miami > VT, GT/SMU win out) and it comes down to this tiebreaker
BC, Cuse, and Clemson will finish at 6-18. Miami can get the four of them to 10 to 12 wins.
FSU is done at 2-6. If we beat VPI, theyâll finish either 2-6 or 3-5. Duke and Carolina play each other, so right now theyâd be a combined 7-7. They can finish anywhere from 7-9 to 9-7.
So the floor is 11 wins, the ceiling is 14.
Games that matter:
Miami vs VPI
Miami vs Pitt
UNC vs NC State
Duke vs Wake
If Miami beats Pitt, we need one of Duke, UNc, or VPI to win. If Miami beats VPI, we need two of Pitt, Duke, or UNC. If Miami beats both Pitt and VPI, we need both Duke and UNC to win.
Thatâs all so that it doesnât go to another tiebreaker.

Just want Louisville or Pitt to win tomorrow so I can stop worrying about all the silly tiebreaker math and itâs win and in. It would be such a lame way to miss out on the double UVA Charlotte weekend

Iâm not sure I can take it if we go 7-1, beat VT, only loss because a cheap shot on our QB and we lose out to new blood SMU after being in this conference for 75 years. Especially with how winnable the opponent would be in the champ game. Seemed like a minuscule chance that has now grown to about 1 in 3, which Iâm sure will be 50/50 after this weekend

Itâs more likely 3 would make the ACC Championship game than the CFP.

Idk I mean if UVA Miami GT all win out and Hoos beat GT in a tight ACC champ game it would be close⌠I donât think GT has any business in this game with Georgia but they have a good coach, star QB and really shouldâve beaten the dogs last year. Stranger things have happened on rivalry week.

Virginia winning is all that matters. The rest is all details and distractions

If this is accurate we want GT to beat Pitt. Can clinch today if UNC, Louisville, and Pitt win
Thatâs the greedy outcome we want. The first outcome we want is just to guarantee that we make the champ game if we beat VT. So Iâll be rooting for Pitt unless Louisville wins

More Belichick/Jordon drama in the news. Maybe that lights a fire under him to beat Duke.

Would be an epically UVA-appropriate result.
