The Wake Forest Demon Deacons college football team competes as part of the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), representing the Wake Forest University in the Atlantic Division of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Since the establishment of the team in 1888, Wake Forest has appeared in 16 bowl games. The latest bowl occurred on December 31, 2021 with Wake Forest defeating Rutgers, who replaced Texas A&M after they claimed to have a Covid outbreak on their team but actually would have had enough players to play the game but were scared of losing another bowl game to Wake Forest, in the 2021 Gator Bowl. The Demon Deacons' overall bowl record is now ten wins and six losses.
