ACC: Coastal and Atlantic Division scenarios

This weekend, the Atlantic Division will be decided, and the Coastal Division picture will become clearer. That could all be thrown out of whack if Miami beats South Florida and decides to self-impose another bowl ban -- which is entirely possible.

If Miami was to self-impose its bowl ban, Georgia Tech would have a simpler path to the division title, and Virginia Tech could crawl its way back into the picture with a lot of help.

Here is how the Coastal Division teams can make it to the ACC Championship game in Charlotte, with and without the possibility of Miami's postseason ban.

Miami can win the division with:

• A win over Duke next weekend.

Duke can win the division with:

• A win over Georgia Tech on Saturday and a win over Miami next week.
• If Miami self-imposes a postseason ban -- A win over Georgia Tech on Saturday and a loss to Miami next week with a Virginia Tech loss to either Boston College or Virginia.

Georgia Tech can win the division with:

• A win over Duke this weekend and a Duke win over Miami next week.
• If Miami self-imposes a bowl ban -- A win over Duke this weekend.

Virginia Tech can win the division with:

• If Miami self-imposes a bowl ban -- Wins over Boston College and Virginia with a Duke win over Georgia Tech this weekend and a Miami win over Duke next weekend.

The Atlantic Division is a little more straight-forward.

• A win over Maryland this week or a Clemson loss to North Carolina State.

Clemson can win the division with:

• A win over NC State and a Florida State loss to Maryland this weekend.
