SpadeRyker	17	After a banner year for the Deacs, the team returns virtually the whole squad and will look to repeat as Atlantic division champs. However, they will be without Hartman for an uncertain amount of time and face a tougher conference slate this time around. These combined factors drop them a bit in the preseason rankings, but they have more than enough opportunity to rise up as well if they can persevere through it all.

nw____	18	The big question is how soon Hartman returns (definitely wishing him the best and hope he is ok). The good news is that I don't think his absence matters much until the Florida State game. If he is back quickly, I think we'll see pretty much the same team we saw last year. If they make any improvements on the defensive side? We may be looking at another double-digit win total for Wake Forest.

bretticus33	22	Wake Forest lives and dies by their offense. Where the defense failed to make stops, the offense made up for it by scoring 41 PPG. However, it all hinges on star QB Sam Hartman while he misses time for a non-football related medical issue and currently has no time-table for a return.

fredmerc111	23	I’m treating this as if Hartman is here/back by the Clemson game. With him they’re top 25, without, they’re top 75.

donald_flap	24	Wake Forest could be very good, but without their starter quarterback for an indefinite amount of time, I can’t see them going higher.
