We're barely on the bubble now

What will kill our chances are the conference tournaments where teams win the tournament who weren't going to get in. There are always 4-5 of those, which means instead of 4 spots out right now, we're probably 8-10 spots out.

Beating Usuck on the road is considered a great win. Besides that you are correct though. We need to beat FSU and beating VT and Miami on the road would be very good Ws.

last night (WF) was actually our 2nd best win

#50 RPI, #15 SOS
OU, GT, and Syracuse are our only "bad" losses (below #50 RPI teams)
This breaks everything down into clear information:

ranked 21st.
And regardless of their ranking, a win over the Coots is always a "good" win.

They were without their best player. Will the committee

look at that fact or simply the win? It seems like they haven't been overly impressed with our ACC record the last few years, so perhaps they do lift up the hood for a closer look.

Yes they do. I remember them doing that last year. Not for us but I remember them talking about other teams where they took that into consideration. That would hurt us and consequently help them.
IMO - we have to win 4 out of our last 5. Only loss to Fla St. Too many teams in front of us.

Frank McGuire will tell you from the grave that "John Woche is the most under-weighted Awl-Amwecan Basket Bawl Pwayer in the country..."
Oh, not that best player....
