Rooting Guide: Clemson vs Wake Forest

Clemson takes on Wake tonight on ESPN. This game is fairly important in the division.

If Wake wins...
They will be 2-0 in conference and have Duke, UVA, Miami, NC State, Maryland and BC ahead. They will probably be favored in all of those games. Even assuming a BC win, it is hard to see them falling apart down the stretch.

If Clemson wins...
They would improve to to 2-1 in the division. Yet they still have BC, Georgia Tech, Florida State, Duke and Virginia. Tommy and team could still lose three more ACC games.

If BC wants to control its own destiny, we need Wake to come back to the pack. Go Tigers!

Suddenly, I'm not nearly as worried about either of these teams. Still, WF gets a freebie in Duke...again.

i agree, both teams looked very weak. sloppy game overall. it is unfortunate that wf has such a cupcake schedule the rest of the season.

What an ugly game. That was prime example as to why a player like Sam Swank is so valuable in college football.

Is it me, or does Wake play the 3 easiest teams in the Coast div EVERY SEASON. Whoever is down, that's who Wake gets.

I think UM, Maryland and NC State have shown an ability to play up to other team's levels this year... It's a cupcake schedule on paper but a loss or 2 are possible...
