I had posted this analysis of the schedule in the Yale game thread (post 269) related to what is would take for us to make the NIT (pre-Wofford of course):

I don't know the RPI and SOS for the teams but Cal was in last year at 17-14, N'western was in at 18-13 and Miami at 19-14.
With 16 wins our RPI would need to be well inside 100.
As mentioned earlier our SOS before tonight was 147, Yale's RPI was 118 so shouldn't hurt the SOS. Wofford is around 200.
UVA's SOS is 150.
MD and GT are in the low 100's
BC and Clemson are in the 200's
I think we have a long way to go to win 7 ACC games but if you look at our schedule, not impossible.
Have to take 2 from BC and Clemson (road games always seem easier on paper).
So that would be four.
I'll just write off dook, UNC and FSU, stranger things have happened but no way you could pencil one of those in. So that's 4 L's
That means we'd need at least 3 wins from
VT (it would be just like Seth to lose this one)
@MD (on the road is tough, but not impossible)
NCSU
@NCSU
@UVA (Until UVA plays somebody hard to tell but we struggle up there)
GT (need to win this one)
@Miami
@GT (I'd hate for this to be the game we need as we hate playing in Atlanta)
Take one from GT, now we need two games.
First two game of the season VT and @MD are the ones we need to steal, IMO.
