The 8-1 North Carolina Tar Heels will travel 80 miles to take on 6-3 Wake Forest Demon Deacons.
A game that could have significantly boosted UNC’s ranking in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll is now just a meeting the North Carolina must win to continue to prove they belong with the best.W
North Carolina has been building momentum, riding a five-game win streak. Meanwhile, Wake, who started the season strong, has seen their momentum drop, taking a massive 48-21 loss to non-ranked Louisville and then a 30-21 defeat against NC State.
UNC has come a long way, earning respect as a legit team this season. Even with their one-loss record, their suspect defense and nail-biting wins against subpar teams warranted the doubt. Now, the Tar Heels are just one win away from clinching ACC Coastal, and to punch in their ticket for an ACC championship appearance, they will need to be victorious this weekend.
