Thanks to their 38-21 win at UConn last weekend, the North Carolina Tar Heels need just one more victory to reach bowl eligibility.
UNC hosts Louisville, which is still in competition for the final ACC Championship Game, on November 14 at 7 p.m. North Carolina then travels to Virginia on Nov. 21, followed by Senior Day against NC State on Thanksgiving Saturday.
On Monday, the Tar Heels just learned kickoff time for The South's Oldest Rivalry, as they'll start at 12:30 p.m. against the Cavaliers.
UNC and UVA treated fans to an overtime thriller in Kenan Stadium last fall, with North Carolina losing 17-16 on a failed, 2-point attempt in overtime.
The Tar Heels and Cavaliers played scoreless third and fourth quarters, then traded opening drive scores
in the extra time period. UVA struck first with a J'Mari Taylor touchdown, followed by a Will Bettridge extra point. North Carolina countered with a Davion Gause touchdown, but the ensuing 2-point try fell inches short of the goal line.

UNC is trending in the right direction this fall, already surpassing its 2025 win total with three games to go. The Tar Heels have three 1-score losses, but if a couple plays go their way, you're looking at a possibly ranked team.
Virginia looked every bit of another ACC contender through its first two games, smacking NC State by 26 and blowing out FCS Norfolk State in a 59-3 result, but is now losers of three straight.
North Carolina has to take down down a red-hot Louisville squad on Saturday, while the Hoos host California. Where will these two historic ACC rivals be come November 21?
