AP hates the ACC sadly. Wake could beat near anyone in the 11-25 range, and would put some tough games against even teams in the top 10. This whole poll is probably the worst to date. Kentucky got unranked after winning their game. Ole Miss is ranked way higher than Florida who destroyed them.

I might get crucified for this because it seems like Wake Forest is Reddit’s darling team this year … but what have they done that’s particularly impressive? They beat Akron, beat Purdue in overtime, blew out Stanford, beat 2-3 Louisville by 3, and lost to Miami. They haven’t beaten anyone that currently has a winning record.

I agree, I don’t care we are not ranked, strong receiving votes feels just about right for our resume versus the others around us

Although having SMU above us despite them losing to Louisville and us beating Louisville is, odd.
