In a previous post, I discussed the path for Wake Forest to return to the ACC Championship game which takes the winner to the Orange Bowl.

On paper, this looks like a game that Wake Forest should win. NC State’s only ACC win this season has been against Duke and on various stats, the Wolfpack has been near the bottom. After a rough middle part of the schedule, Wake Forest has been on the rebound and with the modified offense, the Deacons have been improving their stats a fair bit. But in the 2008 edition of the ACC, nothing should go as expected.

The critical games that Wake Forest and its fans will be watching are the Maryland versus North Carolina and the Boston College versus Florida State. Victories by North Carolina and Boston College will clear up the situation immensely for the Deacons. Florida will not get the top spot in the Atlantic division because of Wake’s tiebreaker win over the Seminoles and the Terps will be two games down. That then makes the Boston College-Wake Forest game next week the one to watch next week. A win by Wake Forest will give the Division title.
