Sorting the divisional standings

The ACC tie-breakers are:

1) head-to-head or group record if there's a three-way tie

2) division record

3) "Best" win, like basketball, start at the top of the standings (in the division) and work down. The team with the "best" win breaks the tie.

4) Record vs. common non-divisional opponents

5) Combined record vs. all non-divisional opponents

6) "Best" win over non-divisional opponent

7) BCS standings

8) coin flip

For the sake of exercise, let's apply that to the Atlantic Division where four teams are 2-1. 

BC and Maryland are 1-0 against the group, Wake is 1-1 and FSU is 0-1.

So, technically — and I know I'm in the minority of who actually cares but — Wake should be listed No. 3 and FSU at No. 4.

Since BC and Maryland haven't played yet, the next step is division record. Maryland's 2-0 and BC's 1-0, the same winning percentage.

That brings us to "best" win in the division. BC beat N.C. State, the sixth-place team, and Maryland beat Wake, the third-place team.

So, it's: 1) Maryland, 2) BC, 3) Wake 4) FSU, 5) Clemson and 6) N.C. State.

For 36 more hours anyway.

In the Coastal, Virginia Tech's 2-0 in the division, hence the tie-breaker with UVa (1-1).

UNC (1-0), Miami (1-1) and Duke (0-1) are listed by group record.
