[QUOTE="CINCYMETJACKET, post: 696982, member: 4003"] Not sure if it's been stated elsewhere, but I believe that NC State's win over Syracuse assures us of the #7 seed in the ACC tournament IF we beat Clemson. Which would be a big advantage over the #8 seed based on how the bracket sets up for the ACC tourney. It seems to get complicated to me because BC, who is currently the #6 seed at 10-7, heads to Syracuse, who is currently the #8 seed at 9-8 (with Tech as the #7 seed at 9-8 because of our head-to-head win over Cuse). If BC wins at Cuse, we are the #7 seed whether we beat Clemson or not because of our head-to-head win vs Cuse. If Cuse beats BC, and we beat Clemson, we are in a 3-way tie with BC and Cuse at 10-8. My understanding of the tie breaker scenarios is that the seeding would be (records vs. other 2 teams): #6 SYR (2-1), #7 GT (1-1), #8 BC (1-2) based on the following excerpt from the 2017 ACC site (the latest my lazy a$$ could find): [B]3. If three or more teams are tied in the standings, the following procedures will be used: (a) The combined record of conference games between the tied teams involved will be compiled. Ties will be broken and seeds assigned based on the winning percentage of the combined conference records. The higher winning percentage shall prevail, even if the number of games played against the team or group is unequal (i.e., 2-0 is better than 3-1; 1-0 is the same as 2-0; 2-0 is the same as 4-0; 2-1 is the same as 4-2; 1-0 is better than 1-1; 0-1 is the same as 0-2; 0-2 is the same as 0-4).[/B] It seems clear, but I seem to recall certain tiebreakers in other sports that seem to break the first tie and then pit the other 2 teams against each other, which would not work out in our favor. Is that due to different divisions in some sports, but not in others? Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
