Jake Dickert’s Stand at Wake Forest.
Wake ForestHe will tell you that he gets too much credit for his Wake Forest team being 7-1 and in contention for the ACC Championship game. His name also gets mentioned with every college football head coach job opening.
So Dickert sounds like a guy taking a stand on a lot of topics when the media hits him up with an array of topics. The first College Football Playoff rankings came out Tuesday night.
Aside from the usual array of inexplicable positions for some schools, it was hard not to notice the 7-1 Demon Deacons all the way down at #16 (even though they are #14 in the AP poll). There are six teams with two losses ranked ahead of them.
It goes without saying that most of those are SEC schools. And how much did Dickert care the next day?
KEY POINTS
- Jake Dickert’s name probably comes up more than he would prefer these days.
- And then there is all the media he is doing these days to promote the newfound success at Wake (that part he likes more than he will likely admit).
- So Wake Forest has had one really bad half of football all season, against #1-ranked Miami, and they get dissed like this.
- So, he did not feel disrespected after being 14 th in the AP poll but lower in the playoff committee ranking?
