The Deacons have won three straight in this matchup. That streak is likely to end Saturday as they are in rebuilding mode while the Seminoles are in the hunt for a CFP invitation. Even so, this lines up a decent spot for Wake Forest. Starting QB Mitch Griffis should return from injury and the Seminoles could be in a bit of a flat spot after they were pushed by Duke for three quarters last week before pulling away.

The Demon Deacon quarterback situation is a mess, and the Seminole defense will shut them down from the moment toe meets leather. The path to an undefeated season is rather clear, and there won’t be any need for Florida State to search for style points. Look for quarterback Jordan Travis and wide receiver Keon Coleman to jump on Wake Forest early and the defense to take it from there. After all, those two need to stay healthy for the stretch run.
