Week 4 ACC Bowl Standings/Predictions

[Sean Miller Fan]

CFP: Clemson/Louisville
Orange: Louisville/Clemson
Russell Athletic: Florida State

TaxSlayer: Notre Dame
Music City: Big Ten
Belk: Virginia Tech
Pinstripe: Miami
Sun: North Carolina

Detroit: Pitt (vs Penn State potentially)
St. Pete: GT
Independence: Wake Forest
Military: NC State

No ACC Bowl: Duke, UVa, BC, Syr

Pitt pretty much always has to go 9-3 to make a Tier 1 Bowl due to lack of fan travel, so a 7-5 team cant jump them. The loss yesterday along with the loss to Clemson means they have to win the rest to get Tier 1. Otherwise, Detroit seems likely. PSU, at 7-5 or 6-6 could be the opposition there. Normally, I would be in favor of playing PSU in a bowl but after already beating them this year, not so sure.

Notre Dame may only need 6-6 to get Tier 1 as long as all 8-4 and 9-3 teams have spots. At 7-5, they are assured.

This is ultimately why yesterday's loss was so important in so many ways.

Yea, 9-3 for Pitt is a must. The general rule of thumb is they have to be 2 games better than any other ACC team outside of Wake....and potentially Duke, BC, Syr depending on the bowl.

They'll be lucky to become bowl eligible as Narduzzi seems to not grasp how bad the team is.

I'd say the chances of them not winning six games are very slim.

If the team was bad, they would have gotten blown out, not lost in the last minute. Again, it almost seems you are cheering for losses.
