About 3 1/2 weeks ago I suggested that Wake Forest deserved to be called a “pretender.”

I said:

The published news reports would have called Wake a pretender. Instead “they are for real.” I hope it gets taken to them in their next 6 games not because I harbor ill will toward the team but because I’m sick of seeing them get undeserved credit as some kind of really good team. If they win at NC State and UNC I’ll eat my words.

Well Drew has token note (not that I know who Drew is). And I am eating.

The point is overwhelming clear. Wake is for real. They are a great team.

Why last week they had a convincing come-from-behind victory against 1-7 North Carolina. The game before they walloped 3-5 NC State by 2 points. Throw in their earlier 1 point thriller of a victory against Duke, and Wake has won the State Title. They beat the Research Triangle — which has an impressive combined 4-20 record — by a net total of 10 points. Wow!

You should know that the Wake Forest juggernaut has won its seven games against teams that are a combined 15-42 (43 if Rutgers takes care of business against UConn tonight). And 3-4 (probably soon to be 3-5) UConn has the best record of the teams Wake has beaten.

Certainly they will knife right through Boston College (7-1), FSU (4-4), Virginia Tech (6-2), and Maryland (6-2).
