UNC at Wake, Friday 9/13

If we finish 11-1 or 10-2, I would want to play them. Might as well step up in competition.
 
From Matt Brown, an Athletic writer on his AP ballot:

Wake Forest and Minnesota are 3-0 and TCU and Baylor are 2-0. These are the only four unbeaten Power 5 teams that didn’t make my ballot. Keep an eye on Wake Forest, a solid team that could make a top-25 run almost by default. After beating North Carolina, the Demon Deacons have as good of a chance as anybody to take advantage of a weak ACC. Wake’s next six games before playing at Clemson on Nov. 16: Elon, at Boston College, Louisville, Florida State, N.C. State at Virginia Tech. Wake Forest is one of four Power 5 teams that has yet to appear in the AP Top 25 in the 2010s, joining Indiana (last ranked in 1994), Purdue (2007) and Kansas (2009). The Demon Deacons have not been ranked since 2008.

As a North Carolina native and resident and father whose son, despite a sparkling record at Myers Park HS and healthy SAT, did not get into Carolina as a freshman (State two years, two years at Carolina), I was surprised to read on this thread of Carolina as a "safety school" and the dismissals and disdain for Carolina as an academic institution. I checked as many academic rankings as I could find (realizing how unscientific they are), and here is what I found: Forbes - WF 56 Carolina 45; USNews - WF 47 Carolina 49; WSJ/Times - WF 62, Carolina 37; CWUR - WF 61/201-250 Carolina 27/54 (national/international). On the other hand, WF was the better team on the field Friday, where the result was objective and not subject to speculation.

As a North Carolinian with restricted means, I am pleased that North Carolina is an inflow state - taking in more college students than we send out; that we are blessed with both fine public and private colleges, which is the informed national and international consensus; that Carolina is held in high regard; and that Wake has made such great strides in recent decades.
 
Check out which schools have been placed on academic probation in the last decade by SACS

You forgot to throw the cuck in there, proud boy. But by all means, continue with the homophobic language that rational people would’ve been embarrassed to use in middle school. It’s definitely befitting of your private university education. I’ll work on my posture.

Your first ever post on a Wake Forest sports board is gonna be arguing for the superiority of UNC academics over Wake on a thread about a UNC-Wake football game (that WF happened to win)? Why are you even here? If your ego about your son’s school can’t handle some pretty basic trash talk, I don’t know what to tell you.
 
Guys from Texas and WVU both had UNC ranked and us unranked
 
I think these are fair rankings thus far for us. Possibly top 25 next week if a few above us lose, but all signs point to the BC game being HUGE for us.

A lot of bitching and moaning about perceived slights. We were 24th ESPN and got votes in AP. We have not exactly faced a murderer's row of opponents through three games, so maybe we should just sit back and see how the next few games go.
