ACC

Probably includes ***** miami

The teams named after storm systems are eliminated first

 

[canester95]

The further you are from Tobacco Road, the less chance you have

 

[Poptimus]

Why are we even raising this?

 

[LPK2006]

Way too early, but Georgia Tech vs Virginia in the ACCCG, probably

If you're asking about three teams that go 8-0, it would fall down to Winning Percentage of Conference Opponents.

2 months left. I am sure by time acc championship comes around Clemson will be back in game somehow

 

[supacane]

Gonna have to wait till atleast 3 more weeks of conference play.

The ACC (especially former Corstal Division teams) will get weird. No shot there’s three unbeatens

Agreed. It's much more likely that there is a two- or three-way tie among 1 loss teams for the second spot.

Tiebreakers include performance against common opponents and ranking of the teams in question.

But just win, baby.

Pretty sure record vs common opponents comes into play somewhere. Probably in this case.
Then I think margin of victory is also a measure somewhere too…

Yeah, it's an interesting set of tiebreaker rules. I looked it up because I wasn't sure, and apparently overall ranking doesn't matter much, at least not until they get through a bunch of three-team tiebreakers first involving the common opponents.

Pitt, VT, and Syracuse are the common opponents we have with both GT and UVA this year, btw.

Three (or more) Team Tie
a. Combined head-to-head win-percentage among the...

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?

I don’t think UVA plays Syracuse or Pitt but GT has all 3. I bet they will slip up somewhere along the way. If our guys handle Business we will be good either way.

You’re right - thanks! That’s what I get for trusting AI

It will certainly show the ACC they have screwed up again if it ends up a 3-way tie, there are too many teams and not enough games to determine the top 2 teams, thats why there were 2 divisions.

With expanded conferences this will probably begin to happen every so often
