If 5 Teams Tie - Here Is the Outcome

[Piranha]

If the following teams finish 10-8, then we get the highest seed. Records within the pod.
Pitt - 4-2
ND - 3-3
Clemson - 3-3
SU - 3-3
VT - 3-3

Pitt - 4-2
ND - 3-3
Clemson - 3-3
SU - 3-3
VT - 3-3

Basically... that's the 5 through 9 seeds in the ACCT. Order yet to be determined.

 

[Piranha]

We are actually in good shape to get the 5 or 6 seed if we beat GT. We want SU to win and ND to lose. Whatever pod we are in - we want SU in it since we are 2-0 versus them.

The way ND is playing right now... I want to be in the pod with them.

They have lost 3 in a row and have looked horrible during that stretch. Brey's team is backing into the post season.

If we win and SU wins, and ND loses, then it does not matter what VT or Clemson does. We are getting the highest seed.

Since we can't get the double bye, the seed doesn't matter so much anymore. What matters is who is our opponent for the first game of the ACCT. Especially if we lose Saturday.

That can't be right. If we have a winning record then, by definition, someone has to have a losing record. The combined record of those games is 16-14, and it needs to be .500.

 

[Piranha]

This is the worst case scenario. ND, VT, Clemson all win, and SU loses. In that case we are seeded behind ND, VT, and CU

Feel free to prove me wrong. What are the records within that 5 team pod?

Lets just be ga tech whixh will be a tall order

I didn't add them up, but for every game that someone wins by definition someone has to lose. So the records of the teams in the mini-conference MUST add up to a .500 record. In your numbers they don't. So I can't tell you what about them is wrong, but I can tell you with absolute certainty that something MUST be wrong.

This is not the Big 12 where everyone plays each other the same amount of times. If I added wrong, then go ahead and show it. I am fairly certain we would be the highest seed out of that pod either way.

This is not the Big 12 where everyone plays each other the same amount of times.

JTPF is right though.... *WITHIN* that pod, there have to be an equal number of wins and losses.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

This is not the Big 12 where everyone plays each other the same amount of times.

So what? When Pitt played Notre Dame one of them got a win and one of them got a loss. When Virginia Tech played Clemson one of them got a win and one of them got a loss. Every single time two of those teams played each other one of them got a win and one of them got a loss. The total number of wins MUST add up to the total number of losses. By definition.

Within that pod:

Pitt: 4-2
ND: 2-2
Clem: 2-2
Syr: 2-3
VT: 2-3

Piranha's numbers were off... but his conclusion was correct.

 

[Piranha]

Also, the tiebreaker is based on winning % within the pod. You have the possibility of having a difference in the number of games played in that pod.

Just need to beat GT and we are in a good position. Really need SU to win as well for seeding and RPI purposes.
