Louisville is our best "series" win and they are not fading

at all (to this point). Wake is also not under .500 in the league. We just need to win the last two series'. Don't need to sweep Pitt, but you are correct a series loss there would be tough to overcome. SOS is very strong this year, number of quad 1 wins is top 3 (tied) in the country, and RPI is good. Last few mid week opponents are good enough RPI wise that a loss to one of them isn't going to create a severe drop (maybe outside of a loss to Marshall). It certainly depends on the finish and a lot of goodwill can go away with a very poor finish. And still very hard to tell how the conference records will be evaluated based on the size of the league now (compared to the past). Schedules are very different now internally (more so than the past). And that is something that will be evaluated differently than the past (this comment comes from speaking to a recently exited Vice Chair of the Selection Committee). Both schools (UVA and VT) will have a lot to play for. Miami's resurgence gives you guys a good opportunity to change the narrative from your end before heading to BBurg. I hope the final weekend is exciting and a lot on the line.

Do we get into the tourney with a 5-1 or 4-2 conf record to finish?

Selection Committee always seems to have a strong recency bias in eval

Almost assuredly in those scenarios. Since 2014...

I would think we'd be in good shape with either of those finishes**
