Hats Off To Wake

http://ncaafootball.aolsportsblog.com/2006/12/02/in-praise-of-wake-forest/

How many of you thought that Wake Forest would sit atop the ACC as champions at the end of the season? After all they did this season I didn't even think they would beat Georiga Tech yesterday. But they did. Without their starting QB and RB, as well as an undersized defense, the Demon Deacons have finished a 11-2 regular season with spot in a BCS bowl. Jim Grobe may be the best coach in the nation for how he transformed this team and program. While another team will hoist the BCS trophy on the 8th, Wake Forest should feel just as proud knowing they did something great.
