Another key game to watch is October 14th, when UNC travels to Winston Salem, NC, to take on top 25-ranked Wake Forest. UNC will end the season on the road against another top-25 school in Virginia on October 27th.

The Tar Heels finished last season with an 8-6-5 record, largely thanks to their struggles in the conference, posting a 2-2-4 record in the ACC. After finishing fourth in the conference, UNC will have plenty of opportunities to improve its placement there.
