Winner: Wake Forest (Up to No. 10)

For the first time in school history, the Wake Forest Demon Deacons are in the top ten of the AP Poll. Wake Forest crushed Duke on Saturday and reached 8-0 for the first time in school history as well. This is an offense that is playing very well right now and Wake Forest just might be the best team in the ACC.

The defense remains a question mark, but with the offense playing as well as it has, it might not matter against the rest of their schedule. NC State, Clemson, North Carolina, and Boston College still await, but those are all winnable games at the moment for Wake Forest. Keep an eye on the Demon Deacons.

Winner: Louisiana (Up to No. 23)

Louisiana started off as one of the trendier Group of Five teams in the country, but after their loss to Texas to start the year, most people wrote off the Ragin Cajuns. Louisiana has rattled off seven straight wins and appears to be the best team in the Sun Belt. This is an offense that is rolling right now head coach Billy Napier looks like he is going to be getting his team to win double-digit games for the third straight season. If you were not paying attention to Louisiana, you absolutely should be now.
