So if Duke wins out they are going to the ACC Championship game?? How crazy is that to think. I hope they do it but doubt they will or can.

Clemson needs to beat Georgia Tech for Duke to even have a shot.

I think Duke will win their next game, but I don't think they will win out.

And you thought the ACC championship is played in an empty stadium normally...

The secret to success, at least in Duke fans eyes, is being viewed in low expectations and exceeding them.

Is that any crazier than Missouri winning the SEC East?

It's weird. If GT, VT and Duke all win the rest of their conference games, I believe the next tiebreaker after head to head (we'd all be 1-1 against each other) is record within the division. Duke will have lost two divisional games as well as GT which would leave VT as the representative as they have 1 loss to the Coastal and 1 to the Atlantic. At least, this is how I interpreted the tiebreakers, could be wrong.

Anthony Boone is really starting to struggle. Will Duke keep him as starting QB or go with Connette? I cant believe im sayin this but I cannot wait to watch a Miami/Duke game.

Well the 1st 2 ACC Championship game attendance values are more than the 1st 2 Big 10 Championship games.

That's not that crazy for those who don't have blinders on. The SEC has always been hype. aTm's rookie coach and rookie QB proved that last year when they were the #1 Offense in the SEC and the SEC let them be the, what, #5 offense in the Country?

So, much for the mighty SEC Defenses.

...or are you one of the homers who thought aTm was a "magic team?"

You are correct. Here's a blog post about it. Three-team tiebreaker - ACC Blog - ESPN
