5 teams that’d pull upsets if College Football had March Madness

Wake Forest

Another team that you wouldn’t want to see in a 64-team tournament is Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons went 11-3 last season and knocked off Rutgers in a bowl game but missed out on the chance to play Texas A&M due to COVID-19.

That would have been a better test for the Demon Deacons but they proved they could beat quality opponents such as knocking off No. 21 North Carolina State. There were losses to Pitt, North Carolina, as well as Clemson but two of those three games were on the road.

Led by Sam Hartman, Wake Forest had one of the best offenses in the country. The Demon Deacons scored 40 points in 12 of 14 games.

There were definitely some close calls along the way but without more quality wins, the Demon Deacons would likely be a six or seven seed and while they actually could be upset in the first round, this is also a team capable of advancing to college football’s version of the Sweet 16.

Outside of the few elite teams, there is a lot of parity in college football, and with one of the most talented quarterbacks, and underrated head coaches in the country in Dave Clawson, Wake Forst would have been a dangerous team if college football had its own March Madness.
