Wake Forest savors spot – for now – as Atlantic co-leader
Posted Sep 30, 2016
There's a surprising three-way tie atop the ACC's Atlantic Division with No. 3 Louisville, No. 5 Clemson and Wake Forest — yes, the Demon Deacons. It's still early in the season, of course, but the unranked and undefeated Demon Deacons (4-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) are off to their best start in a decade. Picked last in the league's preseason poll, they're savoring their status as a division co-leader while also keeping it in perspective.
