The L means is: We basically lost/used in golf parlance the mulligan we earned with the UVA win Stanford is a Q2 loss now (they’re 68 NET we only dropped to 58) Path to 10-8 in league got more challenging MUST wins or MUST NOT LOSE now: Cal (we’d have to earn back another mulligan with a Q1 road W or Duke win) BC GT FSU Wake Those 4 are now non-negotiable must wins for NCAA chances ND Likely L to Duke So 6-1 needed at home to get to 7 Ws Then we need 3 road wins from (most likely W to least IMO): Cuse NcSU Clemson Miami SMU UL UVA UNC Win any of those last 3 it’s a huge bonus and essentially erases last night’s loss metrics wise. So we likely need 3 out of that road gauntlet That’s why last night sucked so much on top of how we lost we just put ourselves on the wrong side of the bubble without a couple unlikely road Ws ** Edited by hokiepro at 1/8/2026, 8:09:54 AM
