- Colby Dant (@TheColbyD): Wake Forest +1.5
The segment opened on the ACC title race. The guys agreed that Duke and Wake Forest both control their own destiny. Even if SMU wins out, the guys noted, it still needs Louisville to lose because Louisville holds the tiebreaker.
Colby’s case is about coaching. Jake Dickert and his staff are North Dakota State guys, and Colby called them the most prepared team week in and week out in the whole sport. He said SMU is solid but not great, and that Wake Forest has looked awesome in every game except the first half against Miami. His pick comes with one condition: the quarterback plays. Without him, Colby expects Wake Forest to get drilled.
Sean was right there with him. He pointed to SMU’s previous opponent looking unprepared for that offense and figures Dickert’s group will be ready. His verdict: “Wake rolls.”
Ryan stayed on SMU. He told the other two that neither of them had brought up the revenge angle, and he called it a revenge game.
