ACC Week 10 bowl projections: Wake Forest makes it official
Welcome to bowl eligibility, Wake Forest.
It’s been a long road for Dave Clawson’s crew, but the Demon Deacons -- winners of just six games total the previous two seasons -- are officially bowl eligible and are headed to their first postseason game since 2011. And with the next tier of ACC teams struggling last week -- NC State, Georgia Tech and Pittsburgh all took losses -- we’ve moved Wake Forest up into the Tier 1 bowl bids, too.
Not much has changed at the top, where Clemson is a solid College Football Playoff bet and Louisville needs some help, while filling out the ACC’s bowl bids with six-win teams is looking increasingly difficult.
