00:00 So how exactly can Georgia Tech get to the ACC Championship game?
00:06 Look, I think it's at least time to have the discussion because after the victories
00:10 over North Carolina and Virginia, there is a very small and narrow path to get there.
00:16 Like I know it should be just one game at a time.
00:19 But I think it's at least worth discussing because there is only two ACC
00:23 games left starting this week at Clemson.
00:26 So first and foremost, Georgia Tech has to win out in both of their games.
00:30 They have to beat Clemson on the road and
00:31 they have to beat Syracuse who is reeling right now.
00:35 Now, straight losses are really banged up.
00:40 Aside from the winning is having Louisville lose both of their remaining ACC games.
00:45 And I'm talking about scenarios where Georgia Tech gets in barring any tie
00:49 breakers because there is a chance there's a lot of teams that could be there with
00:53 two losses, and I just don't know specific tiebreaker rules right now.
00:58 But if Louisville would have to lose to Virginia and Miami, and look,
01:01 I know that's a long shot, maybe not so Miami, but
01:05 there are three touchdown favorite over Virginia, so that's gonna be a long shot.
01:08 But Virginia did beat North Carolina as a 24 point underdog.
01:12 But given what I watched last Saturday against Georgia Tech,
01:15 I would not get my hopes up about that one.
01:16 But they would have to have Virginia beat Louisville and
01:20 then have Miami beat Louisville.
01:22 North Carolina would have to beat Duke.
01:24 Because Georgia Tech doesn't play Duke, I don't know what the tie breakers
01:28 would be over them because there's obviously not a head to head.
01:31 And there's a string of two loss ACC teams.
01:34 Boston College is one of them.
01:35 Obviously, they beat Georgia Tech a couple weeks ago.
01:38 They would need to lose another game.
01:40 Virginia Tech needs to lose another game, and
01:41 NC State needs to lose another game.
01:43 And the good thing is that's kind of the easiest part because a lot of those teams
01:46 play each other, like North Carolina and Duke play this weekend.
01:49 Virginia Tech does play Boston College, these teams do play each other.
01:54 But if all that were to happen and Georgia Tech wins both of their games,
01:58 regardless of what happens against Georgia in the year,
02:01 they would be in Charlotte as a sizable underdog.
02:04 But they would be in Charlotte against Florida State with a chance to win the ACC
02:08 title and go to the Orange Bowl.
02:09 So it's a narrow path, but it's there.
02:14 I just laid it out for you, and we'll see what happens this Saturday against Clemson.
02:18 And we'll see what happens, I think, on Thursday, Virginia plays Louisville.
02:22 So it'll be interesting to see what happens.
02:25 But I'm here to tell you that there is a small path for
02:28 Georgia Tech to get to the ACC Championship game.
