NC State got it’s biggest win of the season at home over Wake Forest. Their defense held Wake to just 21 points and forced star QB Sam Hartman to throw another 3 INTs. Meanwhile MJ Morris came into his own and had a huge day.
12.0, -1.0, -, 15.5 (13th), 8.4 (31st). Despite beating Wake Forest, NC State fails to rise due to Clemson’s defeat. Their margin of victory suggests that they are lucky to still be ranked.
Speaking of NC State, the Wolfpack's loss to #10 Clemson doesn't look bad, but their loss to a currently unranked Syracuse does. And none of NC State's wins are against opponents that are currently ranked. This is definitely one of the more mediocre 2-loss teams, and that likely won't change without a big performance against UNC.
Last Week #24 vs #16 Wake Forest Won 30-21. Honestly a bigger upset than most realize, so a very solid win late in the year for the Wolfpack. This Week vs Boston College.
