Time to brush up on your knowledge of ACC tiebreaking procedures.
The Coastal Division just got interesting. Virginia Tech proved to be just as inept as UNC stopping Georgia Tech’s triple option giving the Hokies their first ACC lost. The Yellow Jacket win also means the Coastal Division leader is…wait for it…Virginia! Al Groh is fireproof. I do not expect the Cavs spot to hold and we will eventually see VT, GT and Miami tied with one loss atop the standings meaning we could go six or seven deep on the tiebreaker.
In the Atlantic Division, Wake Forest laid an egg at Clemson and it appears that division is heading towards some kind of bizarre tango with four teams porting 4-4 records. That means NCSU is still not done except for the fact they have give up 49 and 52 points in successive ACC games. Last week it was death by passing this week it was death by rushing. It is disaster of season ending proportions to have zero strengths on one side of the ball, just ask UNC.

After looking at the ACC Standings this morning I had a flashback to 4 years ago. (I’m going to assume John Bunting and Chuck Amato have grins on their faces).
Remember a few weeks ago when there was discussion about the State-UNC game being a preview to the ACC Championship game? It is probable that this game will have zero meaning except for bragging rights. And I’m talking about not even playing for bowl eligibilty.
At this point I do think most Heels fans would be happy with 3 more wins. Winning the Thursday night game vs FSU then beating Duke, BC and State is possible.
Footnote- UVA is tecnically in first place in the Coastal…..;-)
Al Groh does this every year. We should stop being surprised by it. The next chapter will be, of course, for his suddenly-apt team to return to their stumbling ways down the stretch run of the season.
