The way I look at it is that we need at least 2 points to mathematically secure second place and a first-round bye in the ACC tournament. We can control our own destiny by beating either SMU or Cal, or by tying both. Being co-champions with Notre Dame would be nice, but not fully up to us. Of course, for NCAA seeding the better we do in our remaining regular conference and ACC tournament games, the better our seeding.

Did I leave something out?

No, the opposite: my formulation was just a simple version that best suits my simple mind.  :)
