ACC softball standings question
Team C is 13-8 in conference and 31-15 overall. Team V is 13-8 in conference and 30-15 overall. Team V beat Team C and won their series 2-1. Team V beat Duke 2 out of 3, while Team C beat FSU 2 out of 3. Who should be higher in the standings? To me the tie-breaker rules are a bit confusing. I think you all know which teams I'm talking about here. Currently the ACC site shows Team C at 4th and Team V in 5th. I'm just wondering about seeding in the tourney. ** Edited by VT_AD at 4/23/2024, 9:38:09 AM

The site doesn’t do tiebreaks it shows them by record then alphabetically

Here is what I read on the ACC website
Tie break #1 is head to head, so UVA should be #4. It is likely these standings on the website are not indicative of seeding and are sorted by overall conference record followed by overall record.

Don't think Team C beat FSU 2 of 3, unless I am wrong.

You're correct, I think I looked at the wrong year
They actually lost all 3 to Duke, further cementing my argument.
