Wake Forest Lands Just Outside Top 25 in Latest AP Poll
Deacs are receiving votes
Louisville, KY - The Wake Forest Demon Deacons have narrowly missed cracking the top 25 in the latest AP College Football Poll, finishing with 88 points and potentially sitting at #29. This marks the team's first time close to the top 25 since October 30th, 2022. Wake Forest appeared on 21 out of the 70 pollsters' ballots, reaching as high as 17 on 4 occasions.
North Carolina's John Johnson, Pat Welter, and Kate Rogerson all ranked the Deacs at #23. The team boasts five P4 road wins, including victories over Miami, Vermont, Mississippi State, and UCLA. Their impressive win against #16 Louisville solidifies the notion that the rankings don't necessarily equate to on-field success, as the Deacs have yet to falter against teams deemed among the nation's elite.
