Coach <b>Tony Elliott&#8217;s<\/b> squad controls its destiny completely: defeat in-state rival <b>Virginia Tech<\/b> today and clinch the ACC Championship Game automatically. The matchup carries massive stakes as <b>Virginia Tech<\/b> enters as a 22-2 favorite against UVA since 2000.<\/p>\n<p>If Virginia loses to Thursday&#8217;s matchup against the Hokies, the Cavaliers still have hope\u2014but it requires dominos falling perfectly. They would need <b>Pittsburgh to lose to Miami<\/b>, which already happens. That scenario combined with other favorable results would shuffle the standings in their favor. The <b>Cavaliers&#8217; 6-1 conference record<\/b> gives them the second-best resume among contenders.<\/p>\n<h2>SMU&#8217;s Road Trip Determine Everything<\/h2>\n<p><b>SMU (8-3, 6-1 ACC)<\/b> travels to Sacramento to face <b>Cal<\/b> in what looks like a favorable matchup on paper.

If the Mustangs lose to Cal, they&#8217;d need Miami to beat Pitt\u2014a favorable outcome since Pittsburgh sits at 8-3 with <b>Mason Heintschel<\/b> directing a hot offense. <b>Rhett Lashlee&#8217;s team<\/b> pulled off a stunning overtime victory over Miami on November 1, giving them potential tiebreaker advantages in complex scenarios.<\/p>\n<h2>The Championship Scenarios Breakdown<\/h2>\n<table style='width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:20px 0'>\n<tr style='background:#f4f4f4'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Team<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Record (ACC)<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Today&#8217;s Opponent<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Clinch Scenario<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>Virginia<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>9-2 (6-1)<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Virginia Tech<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Win<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>SMU<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>8-3 (6-1)<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>California<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Win<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>Pittsburgh<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>8-3 (6-1)<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Miami<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Win + (Cal beats SMU OR VT beats UVA)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>Miami<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>9-2 (5-2)<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Pittsburgh<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Win + Multiple upsets required<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>Georgia Tech<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>9-2 (6-2)<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Georgia<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Two+ upsets required<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>Duke<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>6-5 (5-2)<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Wake Forest<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Unlikely path at 5-loss record<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Pitt&#8217;s Hot Streak Needs to Keep Rolling Against Miami<\/h2>\n<p><b>Pittsburgh&#8217;s offense<\/b> has become one of the ACC&#8217;s most dangerous forces recently.
