Hats off to Jake Dickert, who looked to have the ACC"s mystery team at Media Days in Charlotte last July, with no one quite sure to what to make of the "Made in the Dark" Deacs roster. Steering Wake to an 8-4 mark while successfully deploying a pair of unlikely QBs (journeyman Robby Ashford and Charlotte transfer Deshawn Purdie) , the Deacs overachieved all season as they also covered seven of their last nine games. Meanwhile Jeff Lebby's MSU won't have QB Blake Shapen, just as they didn't in the Egg Bowl as frosh Kamario Taylor took snaps vs. Ole Miss, and the Bulldogs only got bowl-eligible at 5-7 on a technicality (not enough 6-6 teams to fill slots). Play Wake (Duke's Mayo Bowl)
