I’ll put it this way. Let’s assume Duke losses to Clemson and GT wins out. We then need Pitt to lose 2 games, so let’s assume that happens. Then we need either VT or UVA to also have only 3 losses, so let’s assume at least 1 or both do that. You now have a 3 or 4 way tie. If Pitts losses to both Miami and VT then we are in because Pitt would be knocked because of rule 1 and 2 listed below. let’s say Pitt losses to only one of Miami or VT but losses to WF, we then have at least 3 teams with the same for number 1 and 2 as listed below. In this case we would win number 3 and still be in. So if there is a 3 or 4 way tie GT makes it in no matter what, unless I’m just way off on something.
B. Three (or More) Team Tie
(Three team (or more) tiebreaker procedure will be used to break all ties to identify the Championship game representative. Once a team is eliminated from the tie, the tie-breaker procedures restart for the remaining teams. If the three (or more) team tie can only be reduced to two teams, the two-team tiebreaker format will then be applied).
1. Combined head-to-head win-percentage among the tied teams.
2. Win-percentage of the tied teams within the division.
3. Head-to-head competition versus the team within the division with the best overall (divisional and non-divisional) Conference win-percentage, and proceeding through the division. Multiple ties within the division will be broken first to last, using the league’s tie-breaker policies.
4. Combined win-percentage versus all common non-divisional opponents.
5. Overall win-percentage versus non-divisional opponents.
6. Win-percentage versus common non-divisional opponents based upon their order of finish (overall conference win-percentage) and proceeding through other common non-divisional opponents based upon their divisional order of finish.
7. The tied team with the highest ranking by the Team Rating Score metric provided by SportSource Analytics following the conclusion of regular season games.
8. The representative shall be chosen by a draw as administered by the Commissioner or Commissioner’s designee.
