This one is about as obvious as it gets. The Clemson Tigers have cemented themselves as consistent title contenders, have the home-field advantage this year, and pop up for the Demon Deacons right after games No. 2 and 3, respectfully.

Wake has also been a perennial underdog to Clemson over the several decades that they have faced off against one another; but unlike with the other two rivals on this list, Wake Forest has an astonishing lack of formidability when playing the Tigers.

All of the opponents on this countdown are difficult to overcome (that is the message, after all). However, if Wake Forest somehow manages to survive Clemson, it will be officially declared as one of the biggest games of the year with no questions asked.
