The balance of the season reveals NO gimmes -- despite the knee-jerk low regard this board seems to have for WF and San Jose State. Taylor's squad right now is an eminently beatable one.
Wake Forest just lost their third consecutive home game, this time to Louisiana (they already lost to Virginia at home). Maybe you can make an argument that SJSU is underrated, but the low regard for this year's Wake Forest squad is well warranted. By definition, there are no gimme games in college football (particularly with our squad/talent level), but including Wake Forest undermines the "Stanford is going to collapse spectacularly" to another pitiful season argument (playing without Brown and Daniels for a significant period of time would be the strongest argument).
