Just how big is Wake Forest’s win against No. 14 Duke?
In Year 3, tonight is Steve Forbes’ first victory against a ranked opponent.
Also, the Deacs’ now have more Q1 wins (2) than they had on Selection Sunday earlier this year (1).
Both Georgia Tech football coach Geoff Collins and athletic director Todd Stansbury were told this morning by president Angel Cabrera that they have been dismissed, according to a person familiar with the situation. Upheaval at Tech. Story to come.

🏃 Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues is one the most celebrated players in Baltimore City, Wake Forest history. He led the ACC in assists and steals in ‘85 and ‘86 and set a record for assists in an ACC game with 17 against North Carolina. Amazing career! #NCSHOF#2022InductionBanquet
Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson calls for “a commissioner of college football.”
Says conference commissioners are doing what’s best for their conference, and presidents are doing what’s best for their schools — but few are thinking about the sport as a whole.
Jim Phillips: "I’m proud of the work we did in The Alliance. It was the Big Ten’s decision to do what they did. We did some significant things together."
Jim Phillips on the fear of the Power 5 becoming the Big 2: "All neighborhoods need to be healthy. It's not good for college athletics if we are not. We understand where those two leagues are. We are trying to find ways to close that gap."
Among the ongoing opening remarks from commissioner Jim Phillips here at the ACC Kickoff: "Any new governance in the NCAA must serve many, not a select few. … We are not the professional ranks. This is not the NFL, or NBA Lite."
Phillips: “I will continue to advocate for college athletics to be a healthy neighborhood, not 2-3 gated communities.”
His speech has been all about the SEC and B1G without mentioning those names.
