VivaFutbol 10 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I was just looking at the tie-breaker procedures for the ACC. If Miami were to lose to GA Tech and beat NCST, VT wins out, and UNC wins out then the all 4 teams would be 5-3 in the ACC. So looking at the tie-breakers, VT would represent the ACC Coastal in the ACC Championship. Heres how I figured it out! Three+ Teams tied tiebreaker: 1. Combined head-to-head record among the tied teams. VT: 2-1 UNC: 2-1 GT: 1-2 Mia: 1-2 then this would bring the tie-break to a two team tie-break between VT and UNC. Which leads to this: 1. Head-to-head competition between the two tied teams. VT wins 20-17 in Chapel Hill this year, VT goes to the ACC Championship. So we are the biggest GT fans right now.

It's not only Hokies that are big GT fans this week. We at UVA are as well. Scenario: GT beats MIA UNC wins out. The whole Coastal comes down to who wins VT/UVA, if both teams win this upcoming week (and it's certainly not a given in this wacky conference). If VT wins, you see the scenario above. If UVA wins, insert UVA where VT is. UVA beat UNC 16-13 in that OT classic, and bing-bang-boom, UVA wins the Coastal at 7-5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Orange 1 10 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Its something definitely to play for. Nothing like playing in the ACC Championship game in Jacksonville in front of 20,000 adoring fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Orange 1 10 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 No, its really not. I just couldnt believe the small crowd at last years ACC Championship game. They need to look at location, moving the time, or something. This year the Big 12 and SEC Championship games are going to mean so much, the ACC will probably struggle for viewership again.

VivaFutbol 10 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Jacksonville isn't the best place to have it. Tampa is better but Charlotte or Washington is a better central location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game needs to be played in Charlotte. End discussion. And it's in Tampa this year. We'll see how this goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefactman 10 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 i think they look at head to head comp. it would be much easier if miami would just go ahead and drop the next two!! i think tech will have a problem with the next two games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd work fine by me: if Miami dropped the next two, what UNC would do in their final two games would be irrelevant for the UVA crew. These tiebreakers are crazy, but interesting. And in this ACC, everyone's going to have problems with every game. Tightest conference in the land, from top to bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghstoga 10 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I almost wouldn't care to see VT get whipped by Duke and then barely squeek by UVA (can't bear the thought of losing to them) so maybe, just maybe, Beamer would get rid of our offensive coaches. If we were to win the ACC and go to a BCS we'd just get humiliated again on national TV by a much better coached team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
