NC State is about on the same level as Wake Forest, and I suspect we will find a way to lose to them also.
Hope I'm wrong.

FWIW, Bill Connelly's SP+ model expected Wake to beat Stanford by 4.6 points.

The same model projects that NC State will beat Stanford by 15.8 points. (The betting line favors NC State by 10.)

I think we fans were right to view Wake as an eminently winnable game, but, make no mistake, Stanford winning on Saturday would be a true upset.
