View from the Hive - the rants and ramblings of a Jacket Junkie...

...at least for this week.

That's right folks. This Thursday, wear yellow to work.

Learn the Georgia Tech fight song.

Read up on their football lore and history.

Because if Georgia Tech beats Miami on Thursday night, we are back in control of our destiny. No foolin.

With Maryland's timely win over North Carolina yesterday afternoon, Carolina and VT are now tied with 3 conference losses. Miami has two.

For now, they are at the top. But as anyone who has watched this crazy ACC knows, being at the top is the worst place to be.

Maryland was at the top a week ago. Lost in Blacksburg.
Wake Forest was at the top yesterday. Lost in Raleigh.
Florida State was at the top last night. Lost in Tallahassee.

Yikes.

If Miami loses on the road Thursday night (very possible, just ask all the Thursday night road teams to date), there will be a three-way tie at the top of the Coastal with UNC - VT - Miami sharing the lead.

If you get dizzy after hearing the below, take a minute and close your eyes.

To break the tie, they first go to head to head.

Virginia Tech beat North Carolina.
North Carolina beat Miami.
Miami beat Virginia Tech.

Hmmm. There goes that.

Next, they go to division record (record against Coastal opponents). This is where the Hokies get the edge.

VT (2-1)
Miami (2-2)
Carolina (1-2)

If Virginia Tech wins out (against Duke and UVA, both at home) and Miami loses Thursday night, we are in Tampa.

So get our your golds and yellows. Even let a bee sting you this week.

We are all Yellowjackets. GO GEORGIA TECH!!!!
