Still in the hunt?

Wow! Just wow! MadJay mentioned at the end of his review that every Hokie SuperFan should cheer for Georgia Tech to beat Miami next weekend. So I decided to take a look at that scenario in particular. The following assumes that the Hokies can handle Duke and manage a victory against UVA. It also assumes that all other games go in favor of the four teams involved.

In this scenario, there would be a four way tie for first place in the ACC Coastal Division! Miami, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, and Virginia Tech will all be 5-3.

The official ACC divisional tiebreak procedure calls for looking at a combined head to head record first.

Team	ACC	OVR	H2H	Div	Noncnf	Div	Div	Div	N-Div	N-Div
Miami	5-3	8-4	1-2	3-2	FLA	UNC	GT		FSU
UNC	5-3	9-3	2-1	3-2		VT	UVA		UMD
GT	5-3	8-4	1-2	2-3	UGA	VT	UVA	UNC
VT	5-3	8-4	2-1	4-1	ECU	UM			FSU	BC

A loss to Georgia Tech would actually eliminate the Hurricanes! Leaving two teams with a 2-1 record against tied divisional leaders.

Since we have only two teams we go back to head to head against UNC. Advantage Virginia Tech. So bottomline, if Georgia Tech beats Miami and Virginia Tech can manage to pull itself together for two home games, the Hokies will be going to Tampa.
