The Atlantic Coast Conference will turn to a ranking from a privately contracted company to determine which team will play for the league title if No. 3 Louisville, No. 5 Clemson?and No. 13 Florida State?finish in a three-way tie atop the Atlantic Division.The ACC has partnered with SportSource Analytics, the same company that provides statistics to the College Football Playoff selection committee members.This particular ranking, though -- a team rating score metric -- is not given to the CFP committee members, and its not free to the public like the former BCS standings, which was also used to break three-way ties. The highest-ranked team in the team rating score metric would win the Atlantic Division, and SportSource Analytics would permit the ACC to release the ranking of the teams in the conference in the event it is required to break a tie.This would be the ACCs seventh tiebreaker, and for it to even come to fruition in its only likely form, Clemson has to beat Louisville on Oct. 1, and Florida State has to beat Clemson at home on Oct. 29 -- and all three teams couldnt lose again.The ACC decided to use SportSource Analytics as its No. 7 tiebreaker this summer because the CFP ranking it would need isnt released until Nov. 29 and the ACC title game is Dec. 3.The decision to change our tiebreaker from utilizing the CFP ranking to the team rating score was based on the reality that were not in a position to wait until Tuesday night to determine a division champion thats going to participate in Saturdays championship game, ACC senior associate commissioner Michael Strickland said. This summer, our athletic directors unanimously decided to insert this metric as the seventh and final step before a blind draw.SportSource Analytics main customer base is football coaching staffs, athletic directors, conferences and agents, but its subscriber base is not limited to anyone. Its current target clientele is not the average college football fan. The group spends most of its time creating tools and platforms for a very specialized market.Were willing to leave the door open to making that rating available in the future, SSA co-founder Andrew Borland said, potentially for a low cost to a consumer market.The team rating score is generally available in almost all packages, but only to platform subscribers, a cost that typically begins around $10,000.SportSource Analytics explained the team rating score as a metric that evaluates all facets of on-field team performance that are highly correlated to team success and combines them into a single comparable value. It combines statistics from offense, defense and special teams and uses individual statistics that are a mix of raw, tempo-agnostic, opponent-adjusted and efficiency metrics. Conference and nonconference winning percentages, as well as strength of schedule, also factor into the statistic.

Kerry, Just watched the shootout in the Coyotes/Leafs game and I have to ask, why was the James van Riemsdyk goal allowed to count? All of the video replays we were shown on TV were inconclusive about whether the puck had entirely crossed the line or not. CHICAGO -- Dwyane Wade still doesnt think a lot of people understand why he left the Miami Heat after 13 seasons and three championships to sign with the Chicago Bulls over the summer.If youre not in this business, its hard to understand, Wade said Monday, three nights before his first game against the Heat since his departure. But I dont even want them to understand -- I want them to appreciate what we accomplished together. I want them to cheer for their team that they have, support those players over there thats giving their all. Support the future of the organization and be thankful that we all was able to experience an unbelievable ride together. Thats all you can do.Wade surprised many around the league by opting to sign with Chicago on a two-year deal for $47 million -- which includes a player option -- after contract talks stalled with Heat president Pat Riley.Since signing with the Bulls in July, Wade, a native of Robbins, Illinois, has played up the homecoming angle, but many around the league felt that he was just trying to stick it to Riley for not being active enough during the free-agency process and that Chicago provided the best landing spot.Wade acknowledged how much he is anticipating playing against his old home fans Thursday night.Im looking forward to it, Wade said after the Bulls 112-80 win over the Orlando Magic. Obviously some of those guys Ive played with before, have relationships with, so Im looking forward to getting out there and competing with them. Im looking forward to playing in the environment that I played in for 13 years.Even coming off a back-to-back [Bulls play against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night], if my team dont have energy for that night, [its] going to be a problem, Wade said. I expect us to come in and give whatever we have. Go out there, and I want everyone to enjoy the environment, enjoy the moment. Its going to be a great environment to play in. I want our team, early in the season, to experience that kind of environment and try to seize it.Wade is hopeful he will be cheered by many at American Airlines Arena, but he isnt sure exactly how the reception will be.You never know, he said. You never know how youre going to be received. But I did everything possibly right in my time there. So hopefully Im received [for] what Ive given to the franchise, organization. But at the same time you never know. You might hear a boo or something at some point. Everybody dont like you. Youu got to understand that.dddddddddddd But I think overall it will be positive.Wade said he wasnt sure if he would get goosebumps or shed a tear, but he knows Thursday will be an emotional night for him.I think Ill definitely be appreciative of the moment, he said. I think its going to be cool just to see familiar faces. I think its going to be cool to see love and support and [people] just being thankful for what you did. Unless youre just cold-blooded, everybodys going to feel something with that. At the same time, its not like my retirement ceremony where I can get a chance to get real emotional. Im trying to come in there and beat their butt. And theyre going to try and beat our butt, so we got to get to the competitive part of the game as well.Wade said he still keeps an eye on how the Heat are doing. He wants his former teammates to succeed, just not when he is playing against them.I definitely watch when I get an opportunity to watch them play, Wade said. One, because its a lot of my young guys over there. I want to see them succeed. I want to see Tyler [Johnson] and Justise [Winslow] and all those guys take that next step. I want to see how?Hassan [Whiteside] is going to respond to everyone saying this and that about him since he got paid. So I watch that as someone who knows them, then I watch the game as a fan and I watch it as a competitor. I watch it so many different ways.Im not wishing nothing bad on that organization. I have nothing but love for everybody in that organization. And I want them to be successful, just as we all say, just not when they play the Bulls. But besides that I want them to be successful.Wade sounded truly appreciative of how fans embraced him during his time in Miami. It should make for one of the most interesting scenes in the NBA this year when he is introduced for the first time as a Bull in Miami.My message to them is what its been all summer: Thank you, Wade said. Thank you for supporting me in the great times. Thank you for supporting me in the bad times for 13 years. On and off the court. Allowing me to have my privacy away from the game and supporting me in everything I did in the community. They supported me when I did good in the season, they supported me when I played bad. The biggest word I can say to them is that I appreciate it and just thank them.
