7. Duke (Home)
Next up, unlike N.C. State, we have true rival, Duke, led by head coach David Cutcliffe.
A never-ending, bittersweet rivalry with a victory bell as the icing on the cake, this matchup, no matter the record, will be one every college fan will circle. Despite not being on the level of rivalry these two basketball programs hold against each other it’s easy to see these two football programs bad blood is still intense.
Carolina who rang that sweet sound from the victory bell in the last meet up, winning 20-17 after an intense match up, will have the chance to do the same, but this time in the Wallace Wade stadium on the road.
Duke, who ranks 12th this year in recruits vs Carolina who ranks 2nd in the ACC, will have their hands full trying to keep up with the explosive offense and speedy defense the Heels will have out there.
The Blue Devils, who finished 5-7 overall while going 3-5 in conference play in 2019, will need to have a true balance on both sides of the ball to keep up with the Heels. Expect no matter the record when these two teams face for it to be a nail bitter as they will go head-to-head for not only the victory bell, but school bragging rights.
