Yeah, Miami as a host is really the surprise.He said that if anyone had told him before hand that if 5 ACC teams were going to host, that the team that finished 7th in the standings would be one of them while the team that finished 4th would not be, he would be very surprised. So...he was surprised! The players seem excited and ready to play, though.
However, conference standings with unbalanced scheduling are a particularly imperfect benchmark. Miami had to play Florida State twice in the regular season, while none of the other top teams had to play each other twice. Miami also did better in its OOC than NC State did.
I strongly suspect that they bumped Tennessee from a 6 to a 5 in order to send the Vols to Louisville, and NC State might well be the team that was displaced from the 5 line to make that happen.
