2021 ACC Wheel of Destiny

Only a month into the season, five teams still haven't played a conference game, and the ACC is already wide open for anybody, with the preseason favorites already behind.

Let's keep tabs on who's got a chance and who's already dug themselves into a hole.

Atlantic
Controls destiny:
-Wake Forest (2-0) has a tiebreaker over FSU.
-NC State (1-0) has a tiebreaker over Clemson.
-Louisville (1-0) has a tiebreaker over FSU.

Not yet playing:
-BC, Syracuse

Needs help:
-Clemson (1-1) needs two NC State losses.
-FSU (0-2) needs losses by WF (3), Louisville (3), and additional losses by NC State, BC, and Syracuse.

"Additional losses" means losses those teams receive from other ACC teams. Right now, for FSU to have any chance in the Atlantic, every team would need to have at least 2 losses. The scenario is that if FSU wins out, they would dole out losses to their remaining teams, but a team like NC State would still need to lose somewhere else to force FSU's tiebreaker.

Coastal
Controls destiny:
-VT (1-0) has a tiebreaker over UNC.
-GT (1-1) has a tiebreaker over UNC. (Their loss is cross-divisional.)

Not yet playing:
-Duke, Pitt, and Miami

Needs help:
-UNC (1-2) needs losses by VT (3) and GT (2), plus additional losses by Duke, Pitt, and Miami. They have a tiebreaker over uva.
-uva (0-2) needs a UNC loss, plus additional losses by VT, Duke, Pitt, and Miami.

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
β€œI served in the United States Navy"

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.
