Trying to make sense of the ACC divisional races
Read these at your own peril. Specifically, rapid digestion of these tables may cause headache, fever, irritability or nausea. I have attempted to offer a look at the ACC standings based on the outcome of every pending game.
Here's how the Atlantic looks.
And now for the Coastal.
To summarize:
** Virginia Tech gets the Coastal's spot if it wins its final two games (home with Duke and home with Virginia.)
** Maryland and Boston College are in the best position for the Atlantic berth because they don't need any outside help. The teams meet in Chestnut Hill next week in what may be the de facto division title game.
** Except for Maryland, every team in the chase is automatically eliminated with its next league loss. (The Terps will be ousted if they lose to Maryland and BC beats Wake.)
** While Georgia Tech has more possible winning combinations than anybody else, almost all of them involve unlikely results.
