People need to remember one thing. The conference tournaments matter way less than people make them out to be. Syracuse and Pitt played what everyone in America thought was a “play out” game like 7-8 years ago, it didn’t matter at all.If Pitt wins and
- UVa beats GT
- Wake beats Clemson
3. UVa 13-7
4. Pitt 12-8
5. Wake 11-9 (2-0 in mini-conference)
6. Clemson 11-9 (2-1)
7. Syracuse 11-9 (0-3)

7. Syr 11-9
This would be the worst draw in my opinion because Clemson is a terrible matchup for us.

Don't like this either because we still draw Clemson and I dont think there's an advantage to being rested. In fact, I think the team that played earlier has an advantage. Tired legs dont come into play until day 3 or 4.

Not doing if Pitt loses scenarios because at that point, we'd probably need to win 3 and make the ACCCG to get a bid. A 3rd Q3 loss would be the dagger.
If we win versus NC St AND get the double bye, we deserve to be in no mater what.People need to remember one thing. The conference tournaments matter way less than people make them out to be.

Pitt has to hope they are in the field going into it, and so long as they don’t get destroyed their metrics will all be NCAA worthy.
The one thing Pitt has done, assuming they win out, is you can absolutely make the case they should be the 4th ACC team.
Wake has already dropped behind Pitt on most brackets. UVA is close. I think if Pitt beats NC State they are going to be in about 40% of the brackets going into the tournament.
And remember, guys like Lunardi are stuck. You can’t just bump Pitt up 6 spots for no reason.
But, if you’ve never made a bracket before, and you are looking at team sheets, metrics, Pitt does way better. That’s the committee. And I think Pitt has all the feel of a high major team who squeaks in due to road record, number of wins, eye test etc.
