Wake Forest finished 4-8, 2-6 ACC, and lost their last four games. Listen, the days of Wake Forest contending for the ACC with players who are 25 years old are over.

Dave Clawson or the slow mesh offense isn't with the Demon Deacons, and they lost most of the few solid players they had to the portal.

FSU will play Wake Forest coming off a bye-week, and the Demon Deacons will play SMU the week before traveling to Tallahassee.

That favors the Noles, and like other teams with little talent, the injuries and nicks and bruises over the first half of the season start to eat into a team's depth. It's a home game, and the Noles should roll the team with the fastest-growing fanbase in the ACC (sarcasm).
