I've been posting these threads each year around this time (with the exception of last season), so here we go again. I'll keep this thread updated as games are completed and the scenarios change.
UPDATED 7:30pm, Saturday 11/14
Coastal Division Race:
Standings:
Paths to Charlotte:
Pittsburgh (5-1)
Remaining Schedule: UVa, at Syracuse
Pitt wins the Coastal with a win over Virginia on Saturday. If they lose, the Panthers can still win the division with a win over Syracuse in the finale, and a VT win over UVa. Going 0-2 to finish the season means either UVa or VT win the division.
Virginia (4-2)
Remaining Schedule: at Pitt, VT
UVa still control their own destiny in the division race. Beat Pitt and VT, and the Hoos go to Charlotte. Without Armstrong that seems like a real longshot, but if UVa's QB can return, they might have a shot. UVa can win the division with a win over Pitt and a loss to VT, but not the other way around. If UVa beats Pitt, loses to VT, the Hokies lose to Miami and Pitt loses to Syracuse, UVa would win the division in a three-way 5-3 tie with UVa, Pitt and Miami or a head-to-head 5-3 tie with Pitt if Miami loses to Duke.
Virginia Tech (3-3)
Remaining Schedule: at Miami, at UVa
VT has a narrow but still viable path to Charlotte. The Hokies have to win out, at Miami and at UVa, and have Pittsburgh lose out (UVa and Syracuse). If that happens, UVa, Pitt and VT would be tied at 5-3, with all 1-1 against the other two. The next tiebreaker is the Coastal Division record. VT would be 5-1, UVa would be 4-2 and Pittsburgh would also be 4-2, so the Hokies would go to Charlotte.
