Records
All-time bowl record
Wake Forest has played in ten bowls in its history and owns a 6–4 record in those games. For the 2006–2007 season, the school earned a bid to its first ever BCS game, with an Orange Bowl match-up against Louisville. Wake also had played in the 1982 Mirage Bowl in Tokyo, Japan against Clemson. However the NCAA does not recognize that game as an official bowl game.
Rivalries
Wake Forest is referred to as being a part of "Tobacco Road" or the Big Four[1], terms that refer to the four North Carolina schools that compete heatedly against each other within the ACC. Wake's all-time records against the members of Tobacco Road are 34-68-2 against UNC, 37-62-6 against NC State, and 37-53-2 against Duke. Wake Forest defeated North Carolina 6-4 on October 18, 1888 during the first intercollegiate football game played in the state of North Carolina.[3] Wake Forest swept the series with its Tobacco Road rivals in 1924, 1951, 1970, 1984, 1987, 2006, and 2007. Wake Forest has a contract through 2014 to play Vanderbilt during the final "rivalry week" of the regular season.
