I know that people refuse to believe it’s possible because well, it’s Wake Forest, but this team is eerily similar to last season’s Indiana. They started out the year a little bit slow, playing some close games against not great teams. But since the second half of the Miami game, they have just been bulldozing their competition. The Louisville win really feels like it was a turning point for this team. They are extremely confident, the defense has stepped it up by about tenfold, and their QB is one of the best in the country. They have just been flawless on all fronts recently and the rest of their schedule should theoretically be a cake walk (sorry SMU. I’m not counting you out, but you’ve been real scrappy).

I could absolutely see this being a team like Indiana last year where they waltz into the CCG expected by most to get obliterated and end up winning. And honestly, with the extreme cannibalism in the SEC, massive fall offs among several of the B1G’s most promising contenders, and the very real possibility of the Big 12 sneaking multiple mediocre teams into the playoff, this is looking like it may be one of the worst playoff fields we’ve ever seen. If Wake gets the right draw and can pull an upset, I don’t think it’s impossible. It’s at least a serious enough possibility that putting a 20 on them as the natty winner to earn $5000 is a steal.

I don't know for every sport but I saw for football in particular. I went to the Cal vs. Wake Forest football game and saw the hauler parked on the side of the stadium. It made me think did they really drive all the way from North Carolina to California just to bring equipment there? That just seems insane.

Florida State was robbed by their own conference last night. Twice!

I'm curious to hear your guy's thoughts on the game.

Or does the committee contort to get Bama back on top /s (you know they want to)

I say Wake loses a late night game on the west coast at Cal. This is the chaos conference, and since the world has crowned Wake the clear second best team in the conference, they will swiftly lose to an inferior team on the road.
