ACC Tiebreaker could the Canes be out of the ACCCG?

There is a real possibility that Miami, Virginia and GaTech could all end up undefeated in ACC play. Wouldn't it be hilarious Miami was seeded in the top 2 of the CFP but left out of the ACC championship?
Anyone familiar with the way the tiebreaker works?

Why do we do this every year? It has always worked out.
 
Assuming one of the first tie breakers is highest ranked teams and we’d obviously be higher than them…so as long as we continue winning, we should be in regardless of what GT and UVA do.

I can think of better words to describe that than "hilarious".

We need a code word for when these premature duplicate threads show up….something that harkens back to Jugsy or Shadow*

* yeah I go way back like spinal cords and car seats
 
Again, if there are three undefeated teams (which there won't be), the tiebreaker would be the Winning Percentage of Conference Opponents. So we would be glad that BC isn't on our schedule.

In bigger news, it is extremely simple to just Google or ChatGPT something like this.
 
Agree this is premature, but asking OpenAI...here's what it would come down to if Miami, UVA, and Georgia Tech all end up undefeated in ACC conference play

Combined win percentage of conference opponents

Each team’s “strength of schedule within ACC play” is now computed:
  • Add up every ACC opponent’s final ACC winning percentage.
  • The two teams whose opponents had the highest combined winning percentages advance to the title game.
So if:
  • Miami’s ACC opponents (e.g., FSU, Louisville, Stanford, SMU, Syracuse, NC State, VT, Pitt) collectively had a .650 win percentage,
  • UVA’s opponents had .610,
  • Georgia Tech’s had .560,
then Miami and UVA would play in the ACC Championship. This is almost always the decisive step in a 3-undefeated scenario.

Note: VT is only common opponent across Miami, UVA, and Georgia Tech.

Common opponents score for and against (I think)

As of this weekend. Generally need to pull against Duke (except when they play GT & UVA) and pull for SMU (if we care about playing in ACCCG)

I would be fine with that. We"d essentially get a bye week.
