FiveStarPick.com is so happy that college football is back and tonight’s game between the Wake Forest Demon Deacons and the Baylor Bears will be the start of another winning season.  College football picks are our specialty and with as much parity as there is in college football today, you will definatley need a helping hand come game night.  Read below to see our college football preview of tonight’s game.

The pros at FiveStarPick.com cannot remember the last time Wake Forest opened the season ranked in the top 25, but Coach Jim Grobe believes his team is ready for primetime.  Three years ago, Wake Forest finished dead last in the ACC’s Atlantic Division, but won an improbable ACC title in 2006.  The 2007 season was a so-so year for Coach Grobe as the Deacons finished 9-4; they did however beat the UConn Huskies 24-10 in the Meineke Bowl.

Nine (9) starters will be returning to Wake Forest’s defense in 2008.  Their defence was ranked 28th in the country in 2007 (340.4 yards per game) and it held its final six opponents to 20 points or less.

The offense returns running back Josh Adams and quarterback Riley Skinner.  Adams rushed for just under 1000 yards as a freshman last season and added 11 touchdowns.  Skinner threw for over 2000 yards and 12 touchdowns.

The Baylor Bears’ recent past as a football team has not been as bright.  Baylor was last in the Big 12 South last year and was winless in eight (8) conference games.  Baylor is trying to right the ship with a new coach…Coach Art Briles.  The program is returning nine (9) starters from the nation’s seventh-worst scoring offense (17.9 points per game), and six starters from the eighth-worst scoring defense (37.0).

Briles had been running the program for the Houston Cougars until taking the job in Waco.  Briles took the Cougars to four (4) bowl games and a Conference USA title. The Bears, prior to Briles arrival, couldn’t seem to get out of their own way losing 12 straight against ranked opponents since 1996.
