Well, BC and VT both lost winnable games, leaving the ACC 0-2 vs. P5 bowl teams. Wake Forest and NC State can tie things up today... but WILL they? I'll be pulling for both of them for sure!

Aggies must've seen something on film because they blocked Wake's first TWO punts, jumped to 14-0 lead. Since then the Deacs have scored 14 unanswered to tie. I guess Wake just needs to stop punting?

Wake could have collapsed after that horrid start but as is the norm with Dave Clawson teams they've fought back and lead 17-14. Just got the ball back too. Clawson might be the most underrated coach in college football.

Yeah, telling Wake to stop punting the rest of the game might not be the signal A&M was hoping to give... the Deacs haven't punted since, and no indication they intend to.

Wake Forest 24, Texas A&M 14

They did foolishly try a field goal, which was blocked. Just go for it on 4th down. Every time.

HALFTIME SCORE:
Wake Forest 38, Texas A&M 28

Attn, Wake: No more punts! No more FGs! Consider going to 2 after TDs! Consider on-side kicks!

Wake doesn't appear to know how to handle Christian Kirk.

Was that a Bachman turnover on the drive

Wake has had many opportunities to put this game away. Stupid play calling at the worst times and untimely turnovers are going to hurt.

I see what you did there... it was a BTO.

I will be SO MAD if TAMU somehow upsets Wake (and from what I've seen it would be an upset!)

Great win for Wake!

The mighty Texas A&M of the mighty SEC lets lowly WFU put up 55 points on them. That's gotta sting. Anyway, the A&M band is incredible even if kinda creepy.

ACC improves to 4-3 today.

6-1 in picking ACC games so far. I only had the Virginia schools losing. I missed BC, thinking they would beat Iowa in a close one.

Hey BELK Bowl only had 32K...(8 to 14K lower than normal) Lowest amount since 2010... Any thoughts??? Did Wake Travel well?? They should have brought 15- 20K themselves??? Does Texas A&M not travel well??

A&M fans didn't care. They are ready to move on to Jimbo. Wake just doesn't have enough fans. Plus, it was cold...really cold.
