Projection: likely out
Wake Forest is projected out because its résumé contains encouraging neutral-site showings against Michigan and Texas Tech and a resume-building neutral win at Memphis, but those bright spots are swamped by damaging results such as the home loss to Oklahoma, the lopsided defeat to Vanderbilt and poor trips to Duke and North Carolina. Road signature wins are essentially missing despite a narrow road victory at Florida State and an earlier road loss at NC State so the upcoming home tests against NC State and Louisville and road trips to Virginia and Virginia Tech are the clearest paths to pick up the quality victories needed to change the committee’s view.
