Message: [QUOTE="LETTERL, post: 4890111, member: 4687"] It may come down to the last day of the regular season before we know who the #2, 3 and 4 teams are in the ACC. With both Syracuse and NC State stubbing their toes Thursday night, the regular season crown will belong to Virginia Tech...but now 6 teams have either 4 or 5 losses between places 2 through 8. Duke's win and Miami's loss now creates a very sharp line of demarcation between 8th-place Duke and 9th-place Miami. Almost looks like the Pac-12! Either NC State or Syracuse are guaranteed to take another loss, as they meet in the penultimate game of the regular season. With the unbalanced scheduling, trying to figure out the tie-breakers for all the teams would take time...but NC State owns tiebreakers with Louisville, Florida State and Notre Dame. If they run the table, they'll be assured of a top-4 slot. Take another loss...then tiebreakers come into play. Take 2 losses...then it gets really messy to figure out and I imagine there would be a few scenarios with NC State falling out of the top 4. [/QUOTE]
