9-9 will not get it done IMO. Projected rpi of 87.  RPI of 87 would be the highest ever by a lot.  While the RPI is typically not used on an individual level to separate bubble teams, I say typically because there has been a handful of P5 teams around 80 with quality wins that get left out.  It's almost as if when thnumber is that high people will not look at the whole package but will focus on the warts.

I still think we got to get it around top 70 so that the RPI is not a barrier to focus on the crap.

For most ACC teams 9-9 would get it done because they had decent to good OOC.   But not for Syracuse or Georgia tech -- it's the entire body of work not just the conference schedule ... those teams dug a big hole.

I have stuck on 11-7 in the past and some said that was not enough.   It's seems that 10-8 is pushing closer to an rpi of 70, which I view as a barrier to look at the whole package.

My point isthe same as before.. whether One believed we could win 10 or 11 ACC games is irrelevant.    But you can't win 11 (or maybe even 10) without having more good than almost the entire bubble.  The issue will be the bad, but we may only have one more bad loss than some of those teams.
