The Virginia Tech loss will haunt the Tar Heels this season!

Virginia Tech beat North Carolina 34-3 on October 8, 2016. This loss to Virginia Tech has been a thorn in UNC’s buttocks for weeks. Currently, both teams hold a 7-2 overall record and 5-1 conference record.

Both Virginia Tech and North Carolina sit in the first place in the ACC’s Coastal Division.

North Carolina needs for Virginia Tech to lose one of their remaining ACC games. Va. Tech’s last three games include home games against Georgia Tech and Virginia and an away game versus Notre Dame. Notre Dame is not an ACC team in football.

This means that UNC’s fate remains in the hands of Georgia Tech and Virginia.

UNC’s will face Duke (away), the Citadel (home) and N.C. State (home) in their final three games. North Carolina’s conference games against Duke and N.C. State will not ‘walks in the park.’ The Tar Heels will need to bring their ‘A game’ against these two familiar foes.

North Carolina has to win the rest of their games AND Virginia Tech needs to lose to Ga. Tech of Virginia to play in the ACC Football Championship game.
