Mr. Toad's Wild Ride continues...

Well, Hokie lovers - Thursday a week ago, we had just fallen by 2 points on the road to Miami and all seemed lost. All of the sudden, Virginia Tech was no longer in the proverbial driver's seat, and needed some help from it's ACC compatriots.

First, UNC had a date with Maryland last Saturday and the Terps proved to be "the guy who doesn't call you back." Next, Miami had to travel to a raucous crowd in Atlanta last night for their final home game of the year. Senior Night. White Out. You know the drill.

The Canes ended up getting run all over (nearly 500 yards, to be exact). So, this begs the question, how does that crazy, wacky division sort itself out? Last night, Chris Fowler on ESPN tried to make it sound way more complicated then it really is.

Consider this. IF Virginia Tech wins tomorrow against Duke AND beats Virginia in the season finale, they would be 5-3 in conference play.

As would Georgia Tech.
And North Carolina.
Even Miami gets in on the fun.

So, we are all 5-3. Where next? Check the head-to-head matchups first.

Carolina beat Miami who beat Virginia Tech who beat Georgia Tech who beat Miami who....ugh, my head hurts. Suffice it to say, the head to heads all end in a draw, since we beat each other up.

The REAL tiebreaker is in the division record (record against Coastal opponents)

VT (4-1) (lost to Miami)
Georgia Tech (2-3) (lost to VT, UVA and UNC)
Miami (3-2) (lost to GT and UNC)
UNC (3-2) (lost to UVA and VT)

We win out on division record and head to Tampa.

That's right boys and girls. If we beat Duke and UVA to finish the season, we will play in our third ACCCG in 4 years. Not bad for a struggling young team, eh.

GO HOKIES!!!!!
