Pretty much 0 shot at getting a double bye, maybe a single bye
Looking at games the top teams should win (games against ND, GT, Louisville and BC)
Clemson should get to 12 wins (we don't have tie-break)
Pitt should get to 12+ with 4 other games
UVA has 4 very winnable games left to get to 14 wins
UM has 1 of these to get to 11
NCSt has 1 of these to get to 10 wins
Duke has 2 to get to 10 wins
WF has 3 to get to 11
For the double, 2 of Clemson, Pitt, UM, NCSt would have to lose out and then Duke and WF can't do very well either. It's so very unlikely all that falls in favor of the Hokies.
Based on the above as well, getting a single bye is going to mean passing 3 of UNC, Syracuse, FSU and BC. I believe we could pass UNC, BC and FSU fairly easily. I can see UNC finishing 2-5 on the season and 9-11 in the conference. BC probably the same at 2-5 to finish 7-13. FSU and Syracuse play each other and I can't really determine a winner from that group. We may be playing FSU for a bye at the tournament on March 4th, though there's a small amt of wiggle room with getting a single bye.

So, if the Hokies win out (a tall order, I know) there is very good chance

If the Hokies win out, they’ll be NCAA champion.**

I realize State and scUM need to really stumble down the stretch for that
