You and @THWG got it right. Need Miami to win next 2 this weekend. In the unlikely event there is a 3-way tie between Tech, Mia, Pitt.. the 1st tiebreaker is record among tied teams (if all 3 played each other). Tech is 4-2. Pitt 3-1 and Mia 1-3. Need them to both be 3-3 come Sunday.

Yep. Dropped 5 spots in 6 games.

 

[Lagrangejacket]

Our RPI still went up 5 points since Saturday, even with a 1-3 week. We pretty much had a chance for free RPI - playing a top 10 team on the road. Couldn't take advantage.

 

[FredJacket]

All of this happened tonight... & all of it good for Ga Tech's situation (as far as I can discern):
Ga Tech - W
WF - L
MIA - L
UVA - L

We are 8-2 in ACC play at home. 2-10 away. Fortunately 5 of out last 8 ACC games are at home. Any way we can get the ACC Tourney moved to ATL?

Should easily make the ACC tourney, but the away record will weigh heavy for the NCAAs in lost opportunity for RPI improvement.

FIFY.

The most favorable results you could ask for as a Ga Tech fan thru Fri & Sat action in ACC this weekend. From 10th to 6th in 2 days.

A win tomorrow is huge in staying there!!!

Our last two series are even huger (sic).

UVa is struggling and we could make a road statement that we didn't against Pitt. Fluke needs to be exposed and we have them at home.

How you finish the season is important to the NCAA selection people. Our starting pitching has to be turning heads.

UVA will likely be playing for their ACC tournament lives. They will be like cornered animal.

UVa is done. With the 81 RPI and playing us @UVa and UVa @ Wake along with VCU and Richmond, I don't think they can get their RPI up enough to make the NCAAs. UVa has to win the ACC Tourney to get in. Doesn't mean we'll win, we couldn't take out Pitt.

Here's what D1 said today after their loss yesterday "While the Tigers are solidifying their hosting chances and are now aiming toward a national seed, the Cavaliers are in big trouble. Virginia needed to win this series. And now, with a series loss, the Cavaliers are 9-14 in the ACC with a 24-19 overall record and an RPI of 81. Barring some sort of wild finish, the Cavaliers are likely done without winning the ACC tournament."

The question may be whether they will even make the ACC Tournament. They will likely need a series win against us to get there. They are only one game clear of VPI&SU for the final slot.

Overall, this was a very good weekend for us. Today had a couple of results which we would’ve preferred had gone the other way.

1) UNC 18-6 (huge sweep vs NCST)
2) Clem 17-7 (big sweep vs UVA)
3) Duke 15-8
4) NCST 15-9
5) FSU 13-10
6) UL 10-11
6) Pitt 10-11
8) GT 11-13
9) WF 11-13
10) MIA 11-13
11) ND 10-14
12) UVA 9-15

Interesting to note that the ACC is currently the #4 RPI ranked conference. SEC is blowing everyone else out of the water.

 

[FredJacket]

Ga Tech's home and road records in conference offer the most stark contrast of all the ACC teams. Ga Tech is the ONLY team to win all of its home series and one of only 4 (joining ND, VT, BC) to have 0 road series wins. (see below)

I am no longer as confident the ACC will have 7 teams in the NCAA tournament... which puts me in line with others who've posted since yesterday's loss to Wake. We really did need a sweep there to help our chances to get a bid. The path is now more difficult (very difficult). It is certainly not a done deal, yet. There are games on the schedule that will help our resume; and of course, a significant run in the ACCT would help too. The only path to a certain bid is to win the ACC tournament. I think any other scenario goes from not getting a bid to firmly "on the bubble".

[For future thought... on paper, it may be better to be a 9 or 10 seed (matchup-wise) than a 7 or 8 seed going into the ACCT.. I'd never endorse hoping to finish "lower" in the standings because that essentially means endorsing failure now when resulting (assumed) future success is by no means a certainty...win each game as they come]

Team: Home ACC record (home series wins/losses); Road ACC record (road series wins/losses)

To be honest, this team does not deserve an NCAA bid the way they have played. I am sure Hall will complain, but he really has no room to do so.
