UNC Football: Week Twelve Schedule Report for 2022 Opponents

Find out where the teams on the UNC football schedule stand with one week remaining in the regular season.

Well, that was not fun.

The UNC football program had a rough weekend, as their six-game winning streak was ended at home by a struggling Georgia Tech squad.

Although this weekend’s loss has ended any slim hopes of UNC reaching the College Football Playoffs, the Heels still have plenty to play for over the next two weeks.  An in-state sweep, ten-win season, ACC Title, and New Year’s Six Bowl game are all still on the table for Carolina.

We take a look at what is still on the table for Carolina’s 2022 opponents in this week’s schedule report.

Up Next

NC State Wolfpack

The Wolfpack lost their second consecutive game on Saturday at Louisville.

It has been a disappointing season overall for a State team that has struggled to build momentum after the season-ending injury to QB Devin Leary.

After a frustrating year (and the comments made by UNC QB Drake Maye earlier this season), the ‘Pack would love nothing more than to beat the Tar Heels on their own field.

It should be a very physical and intense matchup between two angry rivals on Friday.

Result: 25-10 Loss @ Louisville (7-4, 3-4 in ACC)

Looking Ahead

Clemson Tigers (ACC Championship)

The Tigers played one of their best games of the year on Saturday, handling Miami with ease in Death Valley.

After Tennessee’s loss to South Carolina on Saturday night, Clemson suddenly has hopes to get back into the mix for the CFP.

The Tigers host those upset-minded Gamecocks on Saturday afternoon in what is always a heated rivalry matchup.

Result: 40-10 Win vs Miami (10-1, 8-0 in ACC)

Looking Back

Florida A&M Rattlers

The Rattlers won again on Saturday, closing the season out on a nine-game winning streak after an 0-2 start.

They were left out of the FCS Playoffs, ending their season.

Result: 41-20 Win vs Bethune-Cookman (9-2, 7-1 in SWAC)

Appalachian State Mountaineers

App State took care of Old Dominion in Boone on Saturday.

With the win, the Mountaineers became bowl eligible.  They close out the regular season at Georgia Southern this weekend.

Result: 27-14 Win vs Old Dominion (6-5, 3-4 in Sun Belt)

Georgia State Panthers

Georgia State came up a two-point conversion short of overtime against James Madison and lost the game and their bowl eligibility hopes in the process.

They will close out their season at Marshall on Saturday.

Result: 42-40 Loss @ James Madison (4-7, 3-4 in Sun Belt)

Duke Blue Devils

The Blue Devils came up just short of their eighth win in a thrilling game at Pitt.
