Currently, there are 8 ACC teams (7 eligible teams) with either 6 or 7 ACC conference wins this year (and then NC State has 8 ACC wins).
Obviously, Miami (6-10 ACC) needs to win all 4 remaining games and thus finish 10-10 ACC. Remaining - @Notre Dame, @GaTech, UVa, and Syracuse. UVa will be the toughest game, though it is a home game.
1. Pitt (6-10 ACC) - we need Pitt to lose once more, as we split our 2 games. Remaining - UVa, Syracuse, @NC State, @GaTech. Very likely to finish with 11 or more losses.
2. VaTech (6-9 ACC) - we need VaTech to lose at least once more, as we swept them this year. Remaining - @Duke, UVa, @louisville, Clemson, @Notre Dame. Very likely to finish with 11 or more losses.
3. BC (7-9 ACC) - we need BC to lose at least once more, as we beat them in our 1 game this year. Remaining - Clemson, Notre Dame, Syracuse, @F$U. Very likely to finish with 10 or more losses.
4.GaTech (7-8 ACC) - including a loss to Miami (which gives us tiebreaker), we need GaTech to lose at least once more. Remaining - @Syracuse, Clemson, MIAMI, Pitt, @Clemson. We need help from one of Syracuse/Clemson(twice)/Pitt, which are 3 teams with very comparable records. Likely (just barely) to finish with 10 or more losses, as they play Syracuse and Clemson on the road. GaTech ineligible for ACC Tournament.
5. Notre Dame (7-8 ACC) - including a loss to Miami (which gives us tiebreaker), we need Notre Dame to lose at least once more. Remaining - MIAMI, @BC, @Wake, FSU, VaTech. Very likely to finish with 10 or more losses.
6. Clemson (7-8 ACC) - we need Clemson to lose at least TWICE, as we beat them in our 1 game this year. Remaining - @BC, @GaTech, F$U, @VaTech, GaTech. We need help from one of BC/GaTech(twice)/VaTech. Likely (just barely) to finish with 10 or more losses, as they play BC, GaTech, and VaTech on the road.
7. Syracuse (7-8 ACC) - including a loss to Miami (which gives us tiebreaker), we need Syracuse to lose at least once more. Remaining - GaTech, @Pitt, UNC, @BC, @Miami. We need help from GaTech/Pitt/UNC/BC. Likely (just barely) to finish with 10 or more losses, as they play Pitt and BC on the road, 2 teams with very comparable records.
8. NC State (8-7 ACC) - this one is **** near impossible. We need NC State to lose 4 out of 5 games, since they swept us this year. Remaining - F$U, @UNC, Pitt, @Duke, Wake. They are near-mortal locks over Wake, and would likely lose to F$U and @Duke, meaning that we would ALSO need them to lose @UNC and at home to Pitt. UNC is a rivalry game, anything could happen. Losing at home to Pitt is unlikely. Therefore, the chances of all of these things happening is VERY UNLIKELY.
Overall, we have a fairly decent shot, ASSUMING WE WIN OUT, to finish at the 6th seed in the ACC tournament. We would need major miracles to get the 5 seed.
So, on Saturday:
Root for UVa over Pitt
Root for F$U over NC State (painful)
Root for UNC over Louisville (makes our loss to UNC look better)
Root for GT over Syracuse (GaTech is ineligible for the post-season, so we really don't care)
Root for BC over Clemson, as we need Clemson to lose twice, and BC has to play @F$U (Clemson gets F$U at home)
Root for Duke over VaTech
And on Sunday, root for MIAMI. Obviously.
