It will all depend on who finishes in second. If it's Wake, we'd have the tiebreaker. If it's Clemson, UNC would. If it's BC, it depends who finishes third. If it's FSU, I'm not 100% sure how it would work, because I don't know if the ACC treats 2-0 as better than 1-0 (in which case we would hold the tiebreaker) or just goes by winning %. As an aside, got to love the UNC ACC schedule this year - 1 game against Clemson, 1 against Wake, 1 against FSU, 1 against BC - the teams they play twice are Duke, NCSU, Miami, Virginia, and Maryland (or Duke and 4 of the bottom 5 teams in conference).
