Trying to determine our ACC rooting guide provided VT keeps winning


Two things at play 1) we need a larger bubble and 2) we want a favorable draw in the ACCT which means avoiding the North Carolina teams who just overpower us.

So for VT:
- Root for NCSU, they're 4 spots from becoming a Q2 win for us (would put us at 7-9 in Q1/Q2)
- Root for Syracuse over UNC, would drop UNC to the 5 seed and weaken their resume
- Root for ND and Miami to win which would put them on the 2/3 line

If VT wins out we're locked into the 7 seed unless UVA drops a game to Louisville which puts us at risk of playing UNC round two (if Miami gets upset). The predicted 7 seed would give us Clemson > ND > Miami which is the most favorable path we could ask for to the final.

If we do lose tomorrow or Saturday we have to hope for UNC to beat Cuse so we stay on the 7 line, at that point we don't have a prayer of an at-large bid so we would need to win the ACCT which means avoiding UNC, Wake, and Duke until the final.

Clemson is a team that definitely scares me, they're way better than their record and PJ Hall is a force on the inside.
