CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Selection Sunday is two months from today, and Wake Forest has every reason to believe it could be the best team in the country and a potential No. 1 overall seed.
Is this crazy talk?
Nope, not at all. We'll see what happens Saturday at undefeated Clemson, but Wake Forest continues to prove that it should be put in this category and on this level. The Demon Deacons also have a rightful claim to the No. 1 spot in the poll, with Duke and Pitt.
The Deacons (15-0, 2-0 in the ACC) beat up on Boston College on Wednesday, winning by 20 on the road. It wasn't that close for most of the game. Wake could have been feeling good about itself after the emotional win against North Carolina in Winston-Salem on Sunday night. The Demon Deacons could have waltzed into Conte Forum and been clocked by their overconfidence.
But it didn't happen.
