So who wins the Atlantic?

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Wake: 5-0. Remaining games against NC State, at Clemson, at BC.

NC State: 3-1. Remaining games at Florida State, at Wake, vs Syracuse, vs UNC. Beat Clemson head to head.

Clemson: 4-2. Remaining games at Louisville, vs Wake.


So who are you picking?

Now that Jurkovec is back, Wake may very well be underdogs in the rest of its games. But they're still probably the safe pick, though I'm curious to see if they're actually legit or if they've merely taken advantage of a fortuitous schedule. Their performances against the defenses of NC State and Clemson will be interesting, to say the least.

NC State, having already won over Clemson, seems like an enticing pick. If they can win this week and then beat Wake, they are sitting pretty. However, they could also lose three of those remaining games.

Clemson: Okay, so what happens if: Wake beats NC State but then loses its last two... NC State wins its other three remaining games.... Clemson wins out, which includes beating Wake? They'd all have two losses, and the head to head tie breaker would not apply. Is highest CFP ranking what they would use? To be honest, I still don't think Clemson would get in under those circumstances. I think they probably need NC State to beat Wake but lose two other games, and then they need to beat Wake themselves. Either way, seems like a longshot.

Let's hope so. Miami has Little Sisters of the Poor Tech, Southeast School for the Blind State, Pop Warner Tech, and Duke (no exaggeration needed) remaining on its schedule. Really makes me feel like we can't lose again.

Wake/NC State winner. I am going with Wake.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Random tidbit: Looking at Syracuse... They're now 5-4 with three 3-point losses (Wake, Clemson, and FSU). In that final game of the season, they could be playing for bowl eligibility or with some momentum, and our defense may have a hell of a time tackling Tucker. Going to be an interesting final month.

 

[ThePanthers]

NC state or Clemson

 

[MarshallGoldberg]

I'd probably take NC State, but Wake keeps surprising everyone.

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

NC state or Clemson

Clemson has to win out and have Wake lose 1 more (besides losing to Clem) and have NC State lose 2 more. That's extremely unlikely. I haven't looked at the odds but I'd say less than a 10% chance

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

I’d go NC St

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Wake/NC State winner. I am going with Wake.

God help me, but I think that is the correct answer.

Which pretty much guarantees that it's going to be Clemson.

I think it will come down to the Wake-NC State game. I hope NC State wins that matchup, too, because I think Wake's offense would be an absolute nightmare for Pitt's defense if Pitt finds itself in the ACCCG.

Wake has a Big XII defense. They can’t stop anyone. NC State.

Wake's defense is so bad, its hard to see them beating any good teams. NC State 48-38

 

[joeydavid]

Wake has the tougher 3 games and NCST is the more complete team by its a toss-up.

NCST

Better to ask this question after Saturday. I think it's way too messy to try to sort out. There is a pretty equal probability you could have a mess on the Coastal side, too.

I hate to say it, and I hope it's just the jaded Pitt fan in me, but I have a bad feeling about Thursday night. A score that keeps popping in my head is 41-24 UNC. I really hope I'm wrong on that.

But the good thing as that a Pitt loss wouldn't mean much, Coastal-wise, if FSU could somehow beat Miami. Well, I guess it would make Syracuse a must-win, but Virginia is already a must-win regardless of whether we have one or two conference losses going into it.

 

[DruidTM]

I think FSU beats Miami

Nervous about Thursday…. Can Not Allow for Slow Defense Start
