I believe 11-7 is the number. The ACC presents of chances for quality W's. Let's say we do win 11 games, let's by default make our 6 additional losses the 6 toughest games on our schedule, so - UNC, ND, FSU, Duke, Ville x2. (thereby giving us our worst possible resume with 11 ACC wins)

These are the wins we would end up with:
Miami, Pitt (twice), VaTech, NC State, UVA, Clemson

That is still a pretty good set of wins, and if we go 11-7, that is pretty much a worst case for our "best wins". You could make an argument that all those teams will be in the NCAAT discussion with the possible exception of NC State. I'm with jncuse, the committee likes good wins more than it punishes bad losses. We have 3 games left vs. GaTech and BC - if go 1-2 in those games but still end up at 11-7, I don't think it will effect us getting in or not.

We have been fairly successful vs. FSU and ND in recent years - I could see a split with Ville.

11 wins and we're in. 10 wins we better go 4-2 in that first batch of "tough" games. 9-9 all but dead barring an ACCT run to Saturday.

If we beat GaTech twice and BC at the Dome - that gives us 5 wins - which means we just have to go 6-6 in the rest of our games.
