Who will finish unbeaten? Who will slip?
1 (ACC) loss knocks the team out of the ACCCG, unless there is another 1 loss team.
Clemson: Toughest Road games, coots might make a game. Overall toughest schedule of the 3.
home UL
at VaT
at Pitt
home El Cid
home coot U
Miami: Easiest schedule overall, but I think they trip up at GT or Duke
home FSU
home Duke
at GTech
home WF
at SU
SMU: 2nd toughest schedule. Duke and UVa might challenge them.

Not calling an upset. Just saying this is not only the proverbial trap game, but's also a rivalry game. With Florida not fairing too much better, this Miami game will be the last time for FSU to make any kind of memorable statement this year. Dont let them hang around. Their DL can get after if it they ever get a lead. And Miami can't stop anyone.

I think its a 4 team race. Pitt is in this thing as well. And they (Pitt) can control their own destiny because they play us and SMU. If they win their games, they knock us and SMU out.
Our boys need to really dial in. The next 3 games, 2 of which are on the road, are going to be tough. Going to need mistake free football with max effort! We were always getting everyone best shot, but the other teams intensity is sure to pick up even more, if possible, because we now have a have a single digit # next to our name. Our boys are going to have to go out there an earn it!
Going to enjoy watching them give their best to get it done!

You're exactly right. Pitt may be better than Miami and they're getting

overlooked. If they win their next 3 games we will be facing them on the road in a top 15 matchup if not top 10.

They might have the hardest schedule. Might have 2 losses.
If they win out, then they definitely deserve to be in the ACCCG and playoffs

Keep in mind that out-of-conference games have no bearing on the ACCCG. The biggest factor may be the tie breaker which is head to head and then the conference record of teams that you have played. The number of conference wins for the opponents of the ACC leaders is listed below:
Clemson: 12
Miami: 13
SMU: 11
Pitt: 15 (Remember that 5 of the 15 for Pitt are from Clemson's conference wins. Since these two teams play, the tiebreaker for them will likely not matter.)
