ACC coastal [teams that control their own destiny]

Three teams that could win out and be rewarded with an extra loss in Charlotte.
UVA
VT
PITT
Miami would need to win out and have UVA lose one more game.
In reality they'll all probably lose another game.
GT is not getting in. They would need among other things Pitt to lose 3 more games, win all their games, UVA to lose to them and someone else , Miami to lose one of it's other 2 games, and VT to lose 2 of it's last 4.

What about the Atlantic Division? I mean, like, should I go ahead and buy tickets to the ACCCG or not?

This is what I posted last week, prior to the curb-stomping that GT put on VT last night:
Here is what I see for the ACCCG:
ACC Atlantic:
- CLEMSON is in charge of their own destiny. Win out (FSU, UL, BC, Duke) and they are the only undefeated team in the conference.
- NCSU will need some help as CLEMSON owns the TB against them, so NCSU would need to win out (SU, FSU, Wake, UL, UNC) and CLEMSON would have to lose 2 of (FSU, UL, BC, Duke). NCSU might could possibly lose one of those remaining games, but CLEMSON would have to lose 3 of (FSU, UL, BC, Duke), which is very unlikely.
- BC is also in charge of their own destiny. Win out (Miami, VT, CLEMSON, FSU, SU) and they win the ACC Atlantic as they would own the TB against CLEMSON. If they lose to CLEMSON, then CLEMSON would have to lose 3 of (FSU, UL, BC, Duke). There might be some other possibilities if they beat CLEMSON but lose one of their other of (Miami, VT, FSU, SU), but that's too complicated for me.
- SU could possibly win the ACC Atlantic, but it would require they win out (NCSU, Wake, UL, BC) and CLEMSON would have to lose 3 of (FSU, UL, BC, Duke) since CLEMSON would own the TB against SU.
ACC Coastal:
- VT is in charge of their own destiny. Win out (GT, BC, Pitt, Miami, UVA) and they win the ACC Coastal and they are the only undefeated team in the Coastal in conference play.
- UVA is in charge of their own destiny. Win out (UNC, Pitt, GT, VT) and they win the ACC Coastal and they would own the TB against VT. If they lose to VT, then they would need help for VT to lose 3 of (GT, BC, Pitt, Miami).
- Miami needs some help. Win out (BC, Duke, GT, VT, Pitt) and they would own the TB against VT, but would need UVA to lose 1 of (UNC, Pitt, GT) and lose to VT.
- Pitt is a 4-loss team, but is in charge of their own destiny. Win out (Duke, UVA, VT, Wake, Miami) and they would own the TB against UVA and VT.
- Duke could possibly win the Coastal, but would require that they win out (Pitt, Miami, UNC, CLEMSON, Wake) and VT lose 3 of (GT, BC, Pitt, Miami, UVA) and also UVA lose 3 of (UNC, Pitt, GT, VT).
Nothing is final yet. Still a lot of football to be played.

^^ I meant to update that later as I did not list the possible 3-way tie (BC, NCSU, CLEMSON) in the event BC beats CLEMSON. I was going to try and update after this week's games.

If I were a betting man, my money would be on UVA.
And while I would prefer to ignore the talking heads and other bloviaters, my preference would be for whoever wins the Coastal to come into the ACCCG as highly ranked with as few losses as possible...

Most likely 6-2 will win the coastal, but 5-3 is possible

I wonder how the tie breakers go if GT ends up 5-3, but so does Pitt and another team, or two.
If Narduzzi weren't an idiot I'd put money that Pitt makes it. But he is.
Hey Narduzzi, nice fake punt against ND. No way they saw that coming...
