Wake up, CFP committee! It's time to take Wake Forest football seriously

Wake Forest opened a 42-0 lead over SMU on Saturday, strengthening its case for greater consideration by the College Football Playoff committee. The Demon Deacons entered the game ranked No. 13 after winning five straight games by a combined 264-31. The result followed a strong recent run, though the team remains outside the playoff field in the rankings. The game was played on SMU’s homecoming and Senior Day.
