We have a unanimous No. 1 team in the power rankings and it isn’t the Clemson Tigers. That seemed virtually impossible no more than 45 days ago. 2021 is wild, man.
1. Wake Forest Demon Deacons (8-0, 5-0)
Last game: win 45-7 vs. Duke. This week: at UNC
The Deacs complete their out of conference schedule this week against their ACC brethren, UNC. Undefeated through eight games, Wake is off to the best start in their school’s history. They’ve escaped a few games and are entering their hardest stretch with UNC, NC State, and Clemson in three straight weeks.
