COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) -- Wake Forest completed the finest road performance in Atlantic Coast Conference history against a team it had trouble beating anywhere.
Now, after defeating Maryland 38-24 Saturday night, the No. 20 Demon Deacons will take their successful road show to Florida to play for the league championship.
"Wake Forest (10-2, 6-2) will be seeking its first ACC title since 1970 next Saturday against Georgia Tech in Jacksonville. The teams did not face each other this season.
The final game of a crazy ACC regular season matched two of the league's most surprising teams in a duel for the Atlantic Division title. Wake Forest handed Maryland (8-4, 5-3) its first home loss behind an offense that was virtually unstoppable."
It's NOT Florida State; It's NOT Virginia Tech; It's NOT The University of Miami; It's NOT the University of Maryland; It's NOT Boston College.
It IS the Wake Forest Demon Deacons going to the ACC Champtionship Game with Georgia Tech (who lost today) and to a Bowl, no doubt, after that game - no matter what its result may be (but am pulling for another amazing victory!)
Way to go, DEACS!
The Fridge had that, "I just dropped my last Jelly doughnut and Krispy Kreme is closed" look.
LOL

ROFL. It is just an amazing thing to finally not be talking about the "big guys" in the ACC when talking about championships......finally!!!
And the ACC battles it out between the Big 12 and Big East as worst BCS conference this year!
What are the two smallest? My guess is Army and Navy (not sure which order)....
Rice is one of the other two. BTW, it looks as if Maryland will play Navy in a bowl game.
The last time Wake did as well was in 1970 when they won the ACC Championship. Of course that was BEFORE the addition of Florida State, Virginia Tech, Boston College, and Miami U to the ACC. When those schools were added, I thought I would never see the day when little Wake Forest would have a chance to be successful in football again.
That's why this is very sweet.
thanks for adding your college football ping!
I don't think I've ever seen a Wake Forest game.
I know it from "Brian's Song".
Good luck to them.
No problem :)
Anyway - it's just nice for one of the "little guys" (Wake) to win in football - because it is so very rare.
thanks for the good wishes to them.
Beautiful! Thanks!
I'm old enough to remember Piccolo playing before he was hit with that. I'll admit to tears during the movie. He wasn't MY hero specifically, but he was a hero.
Kind of a ramble there.
Good luck to Wake Forest. In Brian's memory.
Yes, join your good wishes to Wake.
