When the North Carolina Tar Heels discovered their 2024 football schedule, I imagine players thought they'd be playing one of the country's best teams in Week 10.

Instead, UNC (4-4, 1-3 ACC) will take on arguably the country's greatest disappointment in Florida State (1-7, 1-6 ACC) on Saturday, Nov. 2.

North Carolina is coming off an emotional, dominant, 41-14 win over Virginia in which everyone played well. The Seminoles continued reeling, dropping a 36-14 contest to Miami (FL) for their fourth-consecutive loss.

The Tar Heels weren't expected to contend for an ACC Championship this year, losing two of its top offensive producers, while FSU was expected to lead the conference.

All the unthinkables surrounding each program's season makes for what should be an interesting game Saturday, with kickoff time recently being announced for 3:30 p.m.

After losing four straight games of their own, the Tar Heels are now suddenly just two wins away from reaching bowl eligibility. North Carolina's offense played liked we all expected last weekend, but it was the defense imprinting its mark on the Scott Stadium field.

What can the Seminoles do right? Seemingly nothing. There's one pass I'll give FSU: it's played a tough schedule so far, with five of its seven losses coming against five ranked teams – or ones that were ranked.

The Seminoles, though, are historically one of the nation's best programs. Good teams always find a way to win – and in 2024, FSU is just not good.

If there's one thing working for the Seminoles heading into their matchup with UNC, it's that the Doak Campbell Stadium crowd – under the lights – is always rowdy.

Can our Tar Heels move a step closer to bowl eligibility, or will they suffer yet another bad loss?
