No. 4 Florida State (7-0, 5-0 ACC) Prepares for Clash with Wake Forest

No. 4 Florida State (7-0, 5-0 ACC) is gearing up for a highly anticipated game against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons (4-3, 1-3 ACC) in Winston-Salem today. The Seminoles are looking to extend their impressive winning streak to 14 games and continue their best start to a season since 2014.

Under the leadership of head coach Mike Norvell, the Seminoles have been on a remarkable run, scoring at least 30 points in each of their 13 consecutive victories. This dominant performance puts them as the favorites for their clash against Wake Forest, with a 20.5-point spread according to DraftKings.

Despite a strong start to the season, the Demon Deacons have struggled to gather momentum, with only two wins against Power 5 opponents. However, they boast an impressive home record, winning 23 out of their last 28 home games since the start of the 2019 season. Moreover, Wake Forest has a recent history of success against Florida State, having won their last three encounters.

In anticipation of the game, Florida State unveiled their uniform combination for the matchup. The Seminoles will be wearing white on white with white helmets, creating a sleek and icy appearance. This is in contrast to the Wake Forest "blackout" theme, which adds to the excitement surrounding the clash of colors on the field.

As the game approaches, Florida State's success this season has earned them the No. 4 spot in the Associated Press poll. This marks their eighth consecutive week in the top 5, a feat they last achieved in 2013-2014 when they maintained a top-5 ranking for 27 consecutive polls.

The Seminoles' winning streak, currently the longest active streak in the ACC and the third-longest active streak in the nation, has seen them dominate their opponents with a score of 544-239 during that span. Additionally, their offense has been particularly potent, scoring at least 30 points in their last 13 games, the second-longest streak in ACC history.

Florida State's strong performance extends beyond the offensive side of the ball. Their red zone efficiency has been impressive, with their offense converting 96.4 percent of their opportunities into points, ranking them sixth in the nation. Meanwhile, their defense has been stingy, allowing opponents to score on only 69.6 percent of red zone trips, placing them 12th nationally.

With their well-rounded strengths and momentum, the Seminoles are poised to challenge Wake Forest in today's clash. The game will mark Florida State's first road game of the month after a three-game homestand. Their previous victory against No. 16 Duke has propelled them to an impressive 7-0 record, the best start to a season for the Seminoles since 2014.

As the anticipation builds, fans and analysts alike are eagerly awaiting this exciting matchup between two ACC powerhouses. Will Florida State continue their dominant run, or will Wake Forest break their winning streak and create an upset on their home turf? The answers will be revealed as the teams take the field this afternoon.
