Very nice to see UNC figure it out this year. Must be a relief to the players and staff. However, even at 17-11 and 14-4 in the league, that RPI will be way too high. Futures has them at 65 (albeit at 15-11 and I think they'll probably get to 16-12). They need to move up 25 spots in the next five matches.

FSU is the only team left above 100 and they've been on a skid recently. Doesn't bode well for getting a bid. UNC definitely got screwed on scheduling a little, only had FSU twice out of the top teams in the ACC. |

Don’t burst the bubble 😂😂 No we do want to "bust" into the "bubble." and hope we are not sitting outside of it. LOL I think that if we pull out a top 3 finish and some of the teams higher in rpi loose, we are in. |

ACC is morons when it comes to that....they take the top 5-6 teams from years past finishes and they all get each other twice to enhance RPI. I wish we scheduled differently than we do. |

How will they overcome an RPI in the 50s? The committee doesn't care if they finish 3rd or 4th. It's all RPI and quality wins (of which they have exactly one).

Committee looks at the whole body of work, conference work, SOS, RPI, and take injuries into consideration. Preseason is against Heels, conference season is for Heels, RPI is very close, SOS is high for the Heels, and the committee recently said regarding Plummer, that when teams are without key players, they take that into consideration....ie our bad losses were when we did not have Harrison. I agree it is going to be tight, and I think it could go either way. I think we cannot have any bad losses and we need to beat FSU on the road.
Note about RPI, just because the teams left on UNC's schedule are mainly poor RPI,RPI takes into account 50% our wins, then 25% opponent wins, and 25% opponent opponent wins....so winning your own matches def does teh most but when your opponents OOC do well, ti also helps you. Wait and see game.

All evidence from the last 20 years or so says RPI is the determining factor. 45 is almost always the cutoff and UNC will not break 50, even if they win out.
SOS, body of work, etc are all factors, but not if the RPI isn't there. The volleyball committee just doesn't put in that level of work for teams so far off the RPI bubble.

That is a premature prediction.....There is more that goes into RPI than just UNC's remaining performance. I do not think UNC will shoot up significantly, but I do think they will be either just outside or just inside the bubble. If we do somehow get in, we likely will get put in the 1 or 2 seed region. |

They're going to jump 20 places with four matches against teams ranked below them? Even if they get to 50, they're out. |

GA Tech and Pitt went to five sets with Pitt prevailing 15-13 in the fifth. Part of me feels better about the Georgia Tech loss, but the other still isn't. Also, I wish we could've had Pitt much later in the season. Maybe we would have been as competitive.

I cannot remember the last time the ACC was such a mess in the standings.
1. Pitt 13-0
2. NOTRE DAME 10-3
3. UNC 9-4
GA Tech 9-4
FSU 9-4
UL 9-4
4. BC 8-5
5. Syracuse 6-7
Tomorrow we have a good chance to solidify 3rd until we have a showdown against FSU next weekend. If we could have beat Ga Tech we would be tied for 2nd. 😭 Notre Dame gets a fiesty Miami tomorrow and UL and FSU will battle to knock someone down to 4th. After watching Wake and FSU last night, I dont see how we dont have a shot at going 5-0 the rest of the way. Lets cross our fingers for a good last segment of the season 😁

Pitt is 13-0 however... but point is the same. I think you have to root for FSU to beat Louisville tomorrow, then we need to beat FSU ND still has GT and Louisville on the schedule as well Louisville's last 5 matches are FSU, Syracuse, ND, Miami, Pitt... kinda brutal Throw in BC - their last 4 matches should all be wins Bottom line... it's going to be an interesting ride between #2 - #6 spots in the ACC standings over the next three weeks! |
