there's a good chance of finishing 2nd.

Clemson sits at 19-5, FSU (16-2) and VT (17-4) sit at 1 and 2 but play their final series this weekend in Blacksburg. If FSU takes 2 games we get the #2 seed.

It gets murky if FSU only wins 1 game. If that happens we'll be tied w/ VT at 19-5. The 1st tiebreaker is head-to-head (we didn't play VT) and then it's vs. all common opponents. We both have the same record (8-1) vs common opponents. For the 3rd tiebreaker, the league will utilize a third-party SportSource Analytics (RPI maybe?) to determine a Team Rating Score. Currently, The Tigers are #14 and Hokies #15 in the RPI. Our SOS is #24 and VT is #35. If still tied it goes to a coin flip.

If VT sweeps FSU, FSU will be 16-5 (the GT series was cancelled). FSU will get the #2 seed by virtue of the 2nd tiebreaker "vs common opponents".

Pull for FSU to win 2 games at Blacksburg.

I think I have it right 🤷🏻‍♂️, but please correct my interpretation as needed.

We're second in all four scenarios, I think. Murky ok, but 19-5 beats 16-5 FSU***
