Anyone who wants a look at the two charts used to separate the two giant scrums while figuring out all the scenarios, feel free to e-mail me. It would have taken all night to break down every potential tiebreaker as needed.
(Also feel free to e-mail if anything here is wrong).
SEE RELATED:
But for simplistic purposes, here are the two groups broken down by head-to-head:
Virginia: 3-1 (1-0 vs. NCSU, 1-0 vs. Miami, 1-1 vs. Clem)
Clemson: 2-2 (1-1 vs. Virginia, 1-0 vs. NCSU, 0-1 vs. Miami)
N.C. State: 2-2 (0-1 vs. Virginia, 2-0 vs. Miami, 0-1 vs. Clem)
Miami: 1-3 (0-1 vs. Virginia, 0-2 vs. NCSU, 1-0 vs. Clem)
AND
Wake Forest: 4-0 (1-0 vs. VT, 2-0 vs. BC, 1-0 vs. GT)
Virginia Tech: 2-2 (0-1 vs. WF, 1-1 vs. BC, 1-0 vs. GT)
Boston College: 2-4 (1-1 vs. VT, 1-1 vs. GT, 0-2 vs. WF)
Georgia Tech: 1-3 (0-1 vs. WF, 0-1 vs. VT, 1-1 vs. BC)
