From espn.com earlier this week:

Games of the Week:

Duke at Wake Forest
Thursday
The best team in the ACC will be on display. So will Duke.

That is all.

This should get us recognition in the poles, too. And if we can steal one from Maryland there we should be fit for number one in the ACC. We also got Virginia at home to pay back.

I suspected that before tonight. I have no doubts now... Wake has a special team. Nice friggin win! And what a game by Justin!

Like, BOOM! That's sig material if I ever saw it.

And congrats to Wake on a huge, hard fought victory. They proved tonight that they can win with or without Josh Howard down the stretch.

I can guarantee you one thing though guys. You wont win At Georgia Tech. No one in the conference will win in Atlanta this year.

Pretty wild and exciting game down the stretch. Congrats on the big win!!

Congrats to the Deacs! I would've been on here sooner, but I was computerless last night -- and thus couldn't give my congrats.

As for the best team in the ACC argument, I do believe that it is Wake -- but I don't necessarily think that last night was proof of that.

Looking at just dook and Wake: dook killed them in Cameron and Wake won in two overtimes in Joel. And dook had a lot of their good players sitting on the bench (but so did Wake). I really would've liked to have seen a game decided by the star players from both teams instead of dictated by the refs down the stretch.

That said, I think Wake is a better team than they played last night. And that is scary....

A morning-after view of the Quad after the traditional celebratory Quad rolling:

the quad looks great.

the game will replay on ESPN Classic tonight at 9pm eastern time. Currently, ESPN Classic is showing various Wake-GT matchups. They are showing the 96 ACC Championship game now.
