Miami cannot win the Coastal

[Zbrod95]

Don’t think so about what part?

UNC has 3 ACC losses (they own the tie breaker, but if we win out they aren’t in play.

Virginia has 2 ACC losses (they own the tie breaker, we need them to lose one more and we need to win out.

Miami has 2 ACC losses

Pitt has 1 ACC loss to us (we own the tie breaker, need them to lose 1 more)

Hence, if we win out, if UNC beats Virginia giving them 3 ACC losses, and if Virginia beats Pitt giving them 2 ACC losses. We would only be tied with Pitt and would own the tie breaker over them.

Virgina doesn’t need to lose to Pitt. Just any other ACC opponent.

Right, but we are just circling the most probable losses, which is Virginia losing at Pitt and Pitt losing at home to UNC. Sure they can slip up to others. But THOSE are the games to watch.

2. How Miami can win the coastal.

This conversation really goes too far,...lol. We're not talking 3 loss tie breakers or anything. Both of those teams just need to lose (if we win out),....it doesn't matter to who.

This defense will cost us a game. Quit trying to do mental math

True but UVA only has two conference games left (even though an earlier poster seems to think ND is in the conference). They play Pitt and VA Tech, and Tech is god awful this year so the mostly like loss for UVA is Pitt.

They’re more likely to lose to both. They’re not good…at all.

LOL you're right about that but I do think Tech is worse... much worse.

I know this. I said if Virginia loses to UNC but beats Pitt.

 

[Go Canes!!]

2001: Win a Natty with the greatest CFB team of all time.

2004: Join the ACC.

Every year since: relying on someone who understands quantum physics to explain how we can still win the Coastal.

Let that permeate.

Should have stayed in the Big East?

 

[Jaxson Villain]

Miami wins out

Pitt beats UVA

UNC beats Pitt

Miami and Pitt finish with 2 losses, everyone else with 3+.

Miami gets the head to head over Pitt

In

This would also work.

I know this. I said if Virginia loses to UNC but beats Pitt.

huh? UVA has already played UNC.

 

[RomeoJunior]

lol,...should've hired much better instead of being conservative w/Coker.

Don't blame the ACC on that one.

 

[Jaxson Villain]

I’m tripping, your right. I’ll just bow out now.

Yay Coastal!! WGAF. Winning the ACC no longer gives you **** if you are not in the top 4. We needed that #1/#2 Clemson team on the other side.

Point wasn't whether joining the ACC was the right thing to do. Just highlighting the purgatory of mediocrity we've been stuck in since joining the weakest P5 division over the past 15 years.

Lol, if you just switch UVA and Pitt around in your post then you're spot on correct.

 

[Swampcity]

pitt and uva have to lose 1 game each then we are back in the drivers seat.

pitt has: duke, unc, va and cuse left

uva has: nd(?), pitt and vt left

We don’t care about the Coastal, that’s just a pit-stop on the way to a National Championship.

Miami plays for Championship’s. Anything else is inconsequential.

IGAF and would love to pull it off after an awful start.
