[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 419055, member: 2843"] Curious what folks consider is a "reasonable" expectation regarding pushing through to get an NCAA bid. What would it take? ...and can Tech pull themselves up from the mat (where they seem to be now) to do what it would take? The link below (dated Monday) has Ga Tech out of the field (but listed in group of "last 4 out"). Trying to keep apples with apples... they have 6 ACC teams in the field. I think 7 ACC teams will be the maximum to make the field. ACC teams IN: NCST, UNC, DUKE, FSU, CLEM, LOU There are only 5 ACC teams (all but Louisville above) with ACC records above .500. I think it is fair to say at least 6 ACC teams will finish above .500 (probably those 6). Seems the only way for Ga Tech to get a bid would be accomplish this: 1) Finish .500 (or better) in ACC. That's going at least 6-3 with this schedule (WF, at UVA, Duke). This assumes a corresponding 'expected' OOC finish too. No disaster against Radford and SEMO. OR 1) Win ACC Tournament OR (below .500 in ACC scenario) 1) Split remaining 2 games v UGA, Sweep Radford, beat SEMO 2) Finish no lower than 7th in ACC. 3) Win at least 1 ACC Tournament game. My view as to reasonable expectation to do one of the above? This team has not really had a problem winning at home (knock on wood). Most of the remaining schedule is at home. There are four 10-11 teams ahead of Tech (9-12) in the conference #6-#9 (Lou, Mia, Pitt, WF). I'm assuming the current top 6 will remain that way (NCST, UNC, CLEM, DUKE, FSU, LOU). Looking at the schedules for those other teams we need to pass (Mia, Pitt, WF)... none has a particularly easy schedule. I could see each failing to finish at or above .500. There's a path there for Ga Tech. We'd need to win WF series and that would give us tiebreaker over both Mia and WF. Pitt probably has the toughest schedule ahead of them (at ND, LOU, CLEM). Other things in our favor... good strength of schedule in general and had a legit tough ACC schedule compared to other conference teams... if that matters in any way.
