Who are we running through in Charlotte?

Looking at remaining conference schedules, I think it comes down to the winner of SMU/Wake on November 14, with a slim chance of it then running through Winston Salem on Nov 28 with the matchup against Duke if they somehow win the rest of their games... All this assuming we run the table. Miami winning out would essentially eliminate FSU/VT with their 2nd loss, I'm eliminating Pitt due to losing their QB

They don't literally but IMO Wake control their own destiny because they can eliminate SMU and their only loss could be to Miami. Pitt and Duke are undefeated but both play us and Pitt has an uphill battle without their QB anyway.

Maybe Clemson wins out and it gets into the tie-breakers with them and Wake having the same loss. Just really don't think they're good enough and writing them off for that.

Best guess is Wake. I think they beat SMU fairly easily.
 
I agree with all the Wake stuff. But they’re only a 3 point favorite this week. Still gotta go to Dallas to play SMU.

As far as odds, Miami is currently -425 to win the ACC.

SMU is 2nd, at +1200.

Then Pitt and Wake are +2000.

VT +2500

Duke +3000

I think if Wake beats NC State they’ll drop to about +1500 or better. On paper, that’s their 2nd hardest game left. Maybe the finale against Duke, but they’re home. They’ll be more than -3.5, which is what they are this week in Raleigh.

Think so? It’d be very ACC, wouldn’t it? I’m just thinking a 17 team league, there’s gotta be 2 of those 17 who only lose 0 or 1, no??

But with 9 games for most teams, obviously the math lends to more losses. So maybe you’re right. I just don’t think so as of now.

I just think there is no clear cut second best team. I think it’s Miami and then a bunch of other teams. And I see all those other teams beating up on each other with Miami giving most of them one loss.
