Projection: likely out

Wake Forest’s profile has flashes that a committee can like but too many damaging results to overcome; the Demon Deacons showed they could hang with high-end opponents in close neutral settings against Michigan and Texas Tech and collected resume-friendly neutral wins over Memphis and West Virginia and road wins at Florida State and Georgia Tech, yet those moments are offset by ugly home losses to Vanderbilt and Oklahoma and lopsided road defeats at Duke and Virginia that speak to inconsistency away from home, and a repeat trouble against league peers with losses to NC State and Louisville that muted the value of home wins over Stanford and Clemson, while the schedule shown leaves little room for another signature victory to swing perception.
