After this weekend, we'll only need to win 3/5 to make the ACCCG


UNC has two conference losses and we won the head-to-head. A mini-conference situation might get UNC back into the race but otherwise they are out of it.
GT with three losses is done.
Duke-UVa loser will have 2 conference losses. A UVa win probably sinks Duke and from VT's perspective, and one of our last three wins would probably have to be UVa.
Miami has one Coastal loss and another to VT might be the end of their line. A mini-conference runoff in the Coastal would then not work well for Miami.
Pitt has the Coastal loss to UNC so they can only really afford a non-coastal loss (I think they'll beat Wake).

I think if VT beats UVa, Pitt and Miami, we are in the ACCCG. We can afford to lose to BC and GT. That assumes Duke will drop a conference game but they still have Miami and Clemson on deck so you do the math.

Unfortunately Miami will fix their QB problems - at least for VT, and UVa and Pitt are decent. The Lane atmosphere works to our detriment in that teams like Miami respond and play better imo. Compare that with how listless the Irish looked in some of their early season games.

All of that work would earn us the right to play Clemson in the ACCCG with our youngest defense since the dark ages. Yay.
