Who would y’all rather beat out of the tough 3?
You can beat one, close lost to one, and lose to one bad like FSU score bad.
Duke. They’re the best team, and a sweep of them would do wonders for our seeding.
Plus it would further establish us as a thorn in their side.
Who is your close lost? Terrible lost? Out of uva and unc?
I have a hard time signing up for a loss. But if forced, UNC - close. They are good, but not the matchup nightmare for us that they have been in previous years IMO. If we get hammered by them again, I won’t feel good about that at all. If we play them tough on the road, that would be encouraging.
UVA plays the kindve D that can stifle us. It’s happened before. We can still fall back on the elite 8 game for bragging rights purposes.
We are not a bubble team this year. Why do people keep regurgitating this false talking point? We aren’t even close to the bubble. We’re safely in the field today by a comfortable margin - an 8 seed in most projections, with a shot at climbing to the 7 line after this weekend.
Unless we go 0-7 to finish this season, we will not be on the bubble. And if, by some crazy chance, we do end up there... we have the best road win in the country, among several other strong road wins.
Yeah, well said. It's a selection. What other teams do matters.How do you know that we won’t get in at 10-8? What if the second win is @UNC? None of this happens in a vacuum. It’s a pretty weak bubble, and definitive statements like this rarely reflect reality.
You eat an elephant one bite at a time. Next meal NC StateNot easy at all.
It won’t but we have won as many games in conference as last year already. If we can at NC State that would be huge. If we do that I think we win at Wake and find a way to beat either Ville or UVA at home.Not easy at all.
10-8 is very dicey when 5 of which so far have been against awful teams..Miami, BC(2), Pitt (2). Strength of conf record killed us one year in the BIG EAST when Cuse when 10-6 and sat home.How do you know that we won’t get in at 10-8? What if the second win is @UNC?

Strength of "conference record" is no longer a factor by the committee. We also have Duke (on the road), ND (on the road), Ohio St (on the road), at least 2 more road wins, Clemson at home (Q2), and several other Q2 wins.10-8 is very dicey when 5 of which so far have been against awful teams..Miami, BC(2), Pitt (2).

Yeah. The Big Ten might be getting unfair love this year, and who knows how wacky the at-large/automatic bid balance will be.
We’re 8-3 in the league. I want 5 more wins. 13-5. Just like I predicted. The only unexpected loss was GT, but that was cancelled out by the Duke win. FSU was a “swing game” - you’re not going to win every single one of those. 5 more. Let’s do it.
It won’t be easy but they’ll find a way. It’s the ACC, nothing is *easy* for any team in the conference.Not easy at all.
10-8 would be enough. But I want to be squarely off the bubble so I want to get to at least 11-7.We are a bubble team - like the exact definition in the dictionary - 10 and 8 and we are out - 11-7 we will get in - it's that simple - I love the team just like u - I just don't live in a dream world
