Road to the 2011 ACC Championship

After today's game, it looks like the ACC Championship game is coming into focus.

For the Atlantic Division, Clemson's defeat of Wake Forest has given Clemson the playoff slot.

For the Coastal Division, the battle rages on between UVA and Virginia Tech. I am thinking VT should have it, but there is still the chance UVA could win the playoff slot. There are 2 scenario's left for which UVA might be able to get into the playoffs.

Scenario 1: If VT loses against UNC, UVA needs to beat VT AND win at least one other match between their Duke and Florida St games.

Scenario 2: If VT wins against UNC, UVA has to win all three matches between Duke, Florida St and Virginia Tech.

So, as of right now, I am casting my lot in the ACC Championship Game being between Clemson and VT, though that is not 100% set in stone yet.

Update 1

After the UVA win today against Duke, it makes their chances a little bit easier. Their updated scenarios are below:

Scenario 1: If VT loses against UNC, UVA only needs to beat VT to go to the playoff.

Scenario 2: If VT wins against UNC, UVA needs to win both games against Florida State and VT to go to the playoffs.
