 6. vs. Wake Forest Demon Deacons (Saturday, November 16)

Wake Forest, in my opinion, is the most underrated team in the ACC.

The Demon Deacons are going to have one of the most prolific offenses in the conference with two really good quarterbacks in Sam Hartman and Jamie Newman.

Outside of Clemson and potentially Syracuse, Wake Forest may have the best offense in the conference and, in the day and age of CFB, if you can score, you can make an impact. With Dave Clawson as the head coach, Wake Forest is poised to win a lot of games.

The problem with the Demon Deacons is the fact that they don’t have much depth, they lose a historically great player in Greg Dortch and the defense is concerning. Wake Forest still could put up a bit of a fight, but the Tigers will prevail with more talent and a home field advantage.
