PFN&#8217;s ACC playoff predictions show Miami in a much safer position, leaving the Demon Deacons with little room for error. Miami&#8217;s projected playoff probability remains 97.9% even with a loss to Notre Dame, while a win raises it to 99.9%. Notre Dame faces a more difficult selection question, with its committee ranking potentially determining whether it can afford another loss. Wake Forest needs to keep winning against its remaining opponents, but even an 11-1 regular season might not guarantee an at-large bid after an ACC Championship Game loss. SMU&#8217;s defeat to Syracuse also weakens potential resume-building opportunities for both Wake Forest and Notre Dame.
