Re: We arent winning the ACC championship this year.

8 ACC Championships in the 15 seasons (if you’re right). We had won 6 in the previous 30 seasons, including 5 under Danny Ford. Dabo has more than tripled the rate at which we win championships over the previous 30 years. What expectation would you have had for the next 15 seasons when he was initially made full time head coach in 2009? What would your minimum expectations have been after his new contract after the 2nd national title? Would winning ACC championships more than half the time been a reasonable expectation? With a resurgent FSU? With 4 ranked ACC teams and 5 overall ranked teams on the schedule? If Dabo is held to an ever increasing standard how come the same does not apply to Brad Brownell who has gotten a raise every season he has coached here including several large escalations. All without a regular season title or even an appearance in the ACC final.

if we win out in the ACC, and Duke is 5-3 and all other teams have at least 2 losses we almost assuredly would be in. We would own h2h over everyone else at that point that could be tied. In the case of Louisville, if we were tied at 6-2 that means we would have a higher win % over common opponents as Duke and FSU wouldn't be common opponents.

Also, we can still go to the ACCCG even if Duke is 6-2. There would just need to be a 3rd team at 6-2 that we beat and they lost to. For example, a UNC or NCSU. By a glance at the tiebreakers, we are likely the team emerging from that 3 way at that point.

Bottomline, we want FSU to win out, Duke to lose 3 or more ACC games, Louisville to lose at least 2 and UNC to drop 1 besides ours. Those are the biggest things. NCSU over Louisville does help in accomplishing 1 of those.
