Since we still have scores trickling in from other conferences, I'm easing back in with just analysis of the ACC.
It hasn't been quite the season anyone predicted, as we see Duke on top of the Coastal Division. I'm sure this has happened before, but only in September, when Duke was the only ACC team to play a conference game and win. But this is late October, basically the end of the month for any team with a bye next week.
Coastal
Duke and Miami control their own destiny. Even though Miami has one more loss, they have yet to play Duke, and a win would give them the head to head tiebreaker.
Virginia Tech needs to win out and have Duke lose another game. VT has the head to head tiebreaker.
GT and UVA might still have a chance if everyone else loses, but it's so complicated, we can probably say they're unofficially out.
Atlantic
NC State controls their destiny.
Clemson needs to win out and have FSU lose one more.
FSU and Maryland need to win out and have NC State lose one more.
bowl eligible: Duke, FSU, Clemson
one win away: NC State
not eligibile: UNC
one loss away: UVA, Boston College
Games to watch that could determine who plays in Charlotte:
-NC State at Clemson, 11/17
-Miami at Duke, 11/24
Update on the Logan Thomas drinking game:
After four weeks of averaging 6 shots, we got 1.5 shots last week, and only 1 shot this week.
We're setting the over/under at 4.25 shots for the Thursday night game against Miami.

Logan Thomas drinking game
If you have watched a Virginia Tech game on television during the last two seasons, you have no doubt heard the commentators repeatedly remind you of the height and weight of quarterback Logan Thomas. (6'6, 260)
Of course, such repetition leads to a drinking game. Take a shot every time his height and weight are mentioned. If only one of those is mentioned, take half a shot. If you don't value your liver or your life, you can up it to a full shot for either stat.
This season, we are keeping track as best as we can of every mention. I don't have numbers for the first two Tech games, since I was at the first one, and had to work during the second and did not have access to the game on ESPN3. These numbers might not be exact, since sometimes they get slipped in casually, or I lose track between long stretches.
Pitt - 5.5 shots
Bowling Green - 7.5 shots
Two things seem to affect the number of mentions:
-The quality of announcers/the tier of broadcast. (i.e. ESPN3 and ESPNU announcers are more likely to mention it than ESPN announcers)
-How many VT games the announcers have called in the last two or three years.
This could be the start of a new feature here. The over/under on the LT drinking game.
I'm placing the over/under for the Cincinnati game at 6.5. Will the announcers go over, under, or exactly at 6.5?
