Chances to win the ACC / Make Playoffs, etc.

Advertisement
Beating Virgin Tech basically ensures that we will be propelled into the ACC championship game as long as we take care of business down the stretch — e.g. Pitt and Virginia. Playoff consideration will come down to the Notre Lame game, especially if they beat NC. State this weekend.
 
I hate to be so soft-shouldered, but does anyone have a good feeling about the VT? Never seems to go well for us lately against them.

Bud Foster's D will bring it, but we are due to play a full 60 minutes. I also think the magnitude of the game, plus the fact that it should be a sellout and great atmosphere, propels us to victory.
 
I'd put our playoff chances at around 5%. Just can't see this team running the table, and I think we'd have to run the table to get to the playoffs.

I think we have a great shot at the Coastal, but I'm pretty sure the whole thing will come down to the VT game. Win that, and we go to the ACCCG. Lose that, and we probably don't.

Hoping VT has another ACC loss in them, but I wouldn't count on it. Georgia Tech, in Atlanta, probably has the best shot at beating them.
 
Styles make fights. Nobody is used to playing against the aggression we bring on D. We literally beat Cuse’s QB into submission last Saturday. I love us & I think we can run the table.

I do. We’re the better team & we’re home. If you saw the fits they had with Clemsons dline then you should love our chances.

In all likelihood, if we beat V Tech next weekend we clinch a spot in the ACC title game right then.
 
Someone should figure out the ACCCG scenario. We usually have a thread around this time of year showing the help we would need to get in. Now that we are ahead, what would happen if we lost to Va Tech? If VT drops another, does it matter who beats them? That kind of stuff.

it could not be more simple as of today. beat VT and we are in. lose to VT and VT has to drop an ACC game and we have to win all of our ACC games.

I should’ve looked at the standings before I posted, but yes I just looked.

VT is at Ga Tech 11/11, then finishes with Pitt and @UVA.

So if VT did beat us, we’d have to root like **** for GT the following weekend.

No offense, 538 math models when it comes to sports handicapping are awful.

More accurate prediction would be UM has implied odds of about 3.23% chance to win the National Championship. Clemson has implied odds of about 9.85% chance to win.

These next odds aren't as accurate but Clemson has implied odds of about 22.5% chance to make playoffs. UM has implied odds of about 19.46% chance to make playoffs.

Take it up with Porter, not me. The more important point is the fact that we're even talking about this. Thanks, Rick.
 
There is no good reason we shouldn't beat VT on our home field for our chance to finally make it to the ACC championship game. We have more talent overall and I can't think of a position where I'd trade one of our players for one of theirs. If we don't win, it will be because we were outcoached. Not as worried about that as I was in past years, but really hoping Richt irons out the issues with play calling and we have a good showing in stopping the run against UNC.

Completely agree that it's awesome that we are even in the discussion. Wasn't trying to be a **** just wanted to provide a few future odds from a couple sportsbooks.
