ESPN's conference rankings, ACC is the last P5. Andrea Adelson does the ACC ranking.

Week 8 brought the ACC a little bit of history when North Carolina and Virginia Tech played six overtimes -- the most in ACC history -- under the new college football overtime format. When it was all over, Virginia Tech came away with a huge, 43-41 victory that had both teams attempt 2-point conversions only beginning in the fifth overtime. The win was huge for Virginia Tech coach Justin Fuente, whose team went from dramatic lows (a 45-10 home loss to Duke) to dramatic highs (the UNC win) in a four-week span. It was another heartbreaker for the Tar Heels, who have lost four games by a combined 12 points. There was one more overtime game in the league: a stunning 28-21 Georgia Tech victory over Miami, the Yellow Jackets' first ACC win of the season. The loss represented a low point for a Miami team that has underperformed the majority of the season and brought renewed scrutiny to new coach Manny Diaz. Clemson cruised over Louisville after a slow start, and thanks to North Carolina's loss, Virginia is once again the ESPN FPI favorite to win the Coastal -- at least for this week. -- Andrea Adelson

1-7 or 7-1 in conference makes no difference. All that matters is those ACC checks keep getting deposited on time.

That is all they care about. It's why nothing was ever done about all the bad calls we routinely got over the years. Now we suck so badly, the officials actually let us play. Either that, or they are still point shaving and they simply have to do less to influence the outcome when we suck.

Absolutely pathetic. Never got this low under Shannon or Golden.

Diaz needs to GTFO NOW NOW NOW
 
This writer must not be familiar with advanced metrics. There was a whole thread about how much better we are than our record. Maybe someone can tweet it to them.

Preposterous. Miami is rated much higher than many of those teams. Our power rating is above 6 of them.

I realize all the numbskulls will jump in and proclaim results over ratings. Keep it up. You'll do well.

The odds are based on power ratings. If power ratings were jettisoned and a genius like Andrea Adelson were making the numbers she would use results alone. It would be hilarity every weekend, with games literally moving 10-20 points.

But the university can't be making the same amount of money, even if we're not winning?

As far as I know, yes the university gets an equal share of the TV revenue from the ACCN, so yes, we could go 0-12 and still get our whatever it is; $19M give or take?
