Our boy Eamonn Brennan has updated his Bubble Watch.
Wake Forest [14-9 (5-6), RPI: 28, SOS: 13] Danny Manning's rebuilding labors, now in their third year, are beginning to bear fruit. The Demon Deacons' mix of good-to-great offense and mediocre-to-bad defense has actually put them right in the meat of the curve -- they're 0-6 against the RPI top 25, and 0-8 against the top 100, but don't have a sub-70s RPI loss to their name, either. Luke Kennard's game-winning 3 on Jan. 28 cost Manning the marquee win his team desperately needed. Still, the RPI's love of the Deacs' schedule provides a bubble foundation upon which Wake can build. All it needs are the wins.
