Message: [QUOTE="pokercuse08, post: 4995818, member: 6535"] I would very much prefer the double bye. Few reasons: 1. Looks like the consensus is five ACC teams in. My gut feeling is that it's pretty rare to see a power conference get its 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th finishing teams in and not its 4th. I feel like fourth in the ACC and pointing to our overall Strength of Schedule is a VERY good argument. 2. If you believe we need one more big win after (hopefully) beating Clemson, you have to keep in mind that we basically only play six guys. It's going to be much easier for us to pick up a win as the more rested team than to be coming off a back-to-back against a rested team. 3. Some of the teams at the bottom of the conference are actually playing reasonably well right now, but if we lose to one of them in the ACCT we're toast. If we beat Clemson on the road, get the double bye, then lose to a Clemson or Wake, we may still be in. [/QUOTE]
