Assume the Wake-NCSU score holds. Here's the standings:

Wake 6-0
Clemson 5-2
NCSU 4-2

If Clemson beats Wake at home next week... and Clemson will be favored.... and let's assume NCSU beats Syracuse.

Wake 6-1
Clemson 6-2
NCSU 5-2

Wake ends at BC. With Jurkovic back, Wake could lose that game.

NCSU ends with UNC. UNC is definitely capable of beating NCSU.

Clemson would win the tie breaker with Wake.


(In the event of a 3-way tie with the teams 1-1 against each other, the tie breaker is record within the division. This would eliminate Wake because both of their losses would be in the Atlantic. And then NCSU would win head to head tiebreaker with Clemson.)


Bottom line. If Clemson beats Wake, and BC beats Wake, and UNC beats NCSU.... Clemson wins the Atlantic.
