Using NCAAGameSim.com can be a lot of fun, so I figured I take a few minutes and run one simulation for each of the remaining ACC games and see how the final standings could potentially play out. Keep in mind that this is by no means a prediction, since we're running only one simulation for each game. Further, any number of factors, such as injuries, could play into what ultimately happens.
Simulation Notes
- Duke swept their two matchups with the Heels.
- Virginia was the only team able to knock off Syracuse, and did so in Charlottesville.
- Syracuse won at Duke by 5.
- Virginia suffered a suprising loss to Notre Dame and lost to Maryland on the final day of the season.
