SAN DIEGO - One of the guiding forces beneath the surface that has helped carry the North Carolina football team to the palm trees and picturesque vistas of a bowl game in Southern California is the sickening feeling that set in as last season ended. Coach Mack Brown thought back Tuesday, with his Tar Heels preparing to face Oregon here in the…

UNC football limps into the Holiday Bowl on a three-game losing streak with more than a dozen players from this season's roster having already entered the transfer portal. The Tar Heels also will be without All-ACC receiver Josh Downs, who opted out of the bowl game to prepare for the NFL draft, and offensive coordinator Phil Longo, who took a job…

Mike Leach brought innovation, personality and humor to college football, traits that are not always in great abundance. He will be missed. Name, image and likeness and the transfer portal dominated conversations last week at the Intercollegiate Athletics Forum, presented by Learfield, but I'm not sure there was a more important session than the…

Yes, there is a chance where Drake Maye and the rest of the UNC football team can make the College Football Playoff this season. It might be as a huge long shot, but UNC has a chance at making the College Football Playoff with Heisman Trophy contender Drake Maye at quarterback. The North Carolina Tar Heels are the Rodney Dangerfield of the Power…

The UNC football program looks to inch closer to the ACC Coastal Division title, as they'll travel to Virginia in hopes of improving to 8-1 on the year. Mack Brown and the UNC football program have put themselves in the driver's seat while chasing the ACC Coastal Division title. Although they are drawing closer to clinching, as Kobe Bryant once…

Believe it or not, Clemson and UNC have more in common this season than you'd think: both teams have lost to Notre Dame, lost to their respective rivals, have banged up defensive backs, and now both teams will go into the ACC Championship game with offenses that are looking to bounce back and perform to their high standards. Sure, there's obvious…

No. 9 Clemson and No. 23 North Carolina meet in the ACC Championship Game on Saturday night in a rematch of the 2015 conference title game that kick-started the Tigers' run of six straight College Football Playoff appearances. While this year's showdown in Charlotte won't carry playoff implications for either team, it remains a key pivot point for…

The College Football Experience ( @TCEonSGPN) on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network previews the upcoming Conference Championship & FCS Playoffs of college football. Pick Dundee aka ( @TheColbyD), Patty C ( @PattyC831) & NC Nick ( @NC__NicK) break down all of the recent college football coach hirings and key in on each and every college football…

UNC football travels to Winston-Salem to face Wake Forest this upcoming weekend. It'll be a tough matchup for Mack Brown and company. In the grand scheme of things, North Carolina's matchup this weekend in Winston-Salem may not mean all that much. Both teams are already bowl eligible. The ACC Championship matchup is pretty much set in stone, as…

The No. 8 Clemson Tigers (10-2) and the No. 17 North Carolina Tar Heels will square off against each other on Saturday night at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte in the ACC Championship game. The winner of Saturday night's matchup will punch their ticket to the Orange Bowl on Dec. 30. Clemson had their two-game winning streak snapped last week…

After a very, very long wait, college football is back. What a freaking time to be alive. Obviously, it's only week zero. But football is football in my book... even if it is an absolutely horrendous slate of games. There are only 11 games that feature FBS teams and only 6 Power 5 teams are playing this weekend. While Florida State being one of…

Georgia Tech is back on the road for its final two games of the season and both games are going to be against tough opponents. The Yellow Jackets head to Chapel Hill to face a North Carolina team that is trying to prove that they belong in the college football playoff. Let's take a closer look at the matchup of Coastal division rivals. There is…

On Saturday, the UNC football team will return to a sold-out Kenan Stadium for its homecoming game against Pittsburgh. Boasting a record of 6-1 and leading the ACC Coastal division by a significant margin, the Tar Heels are looking put their foot on the necks of the Panthers. North Carolina is riding on a high - already bowl eligible after just…

Taking the field as 21-point underdogs, Georgia Tech authored a stunner, taking down No. 13 North Carolina 21-17 at Kenan Stadium. Tech hounded Tar Heels quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate Drake Maye into arguably his poorest game of the season, holding him to 16-for-30 passing for 202 yards and one interception. Maye entered the game leading…

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Zach Gibson threw for 174 yards and Georgia Tech scored 21 straight points for a 21-17 road win against No. 13 North Carolina on Saturday. Gibson, a transfer from Akron, got the start on Saturday with former starter Jeff Sims nursing a foot injury and No. 1 backup Zach Pyron out with a broken collarbone. Clemson transfer Taisun…

With just two weeks left in the regular season, the College Football Playoff is taking shape. It's been a dizzying season that has seen top dogs humbled, unknowns rise to the top, and perennial contenders stay steady. There's still plenty to shake out. You can count on a couple more surprises before the nation's top four teams punch their tickets…

Now that North Carolina has secured a division title and berth in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game, coach Mack Brown is challenging his team to stay focused and continue improving. "You can either become a great team or you can stand around the next couple of weeks and stay a good team. It's totally up to you and your mindset," Brown…

No. 6 Oregon had a four-point lead, was on the 19th play of a drive that gobbled most of the fourth quarter and looked on the way to another clutch Pac-12 victory against rival Washington before Bo Nix went down on third down. Everything afterward was a blur that changed the entire College Football Playoff picture heading into Week 12. The Ducks…

college football odds series for our Pittsburgh North Carolina prediction and pick. The North Carolina Tar Heels have authored a very improbable story thus far in 2022. In 2021, North Carolina was the clear preseason choice to win the ACC Coastal Division. Sam Howell was coming back at quarterback with a lot of established wide receivers. The UNC…

No. 15 North Carolina heads to Charlottesville, Virginia, with an outside chance at clinching the Atlantic Coast Conference's Coastal Division title. The Tar Heels (7-1, 4-0) enter the clash with Virginia (3-5, 1-4) at Scott Stadium on Saturday (noon, ACC Network) with a two-game lead over Duke and Miami in the Coastal standings. By beating the…

Unlike Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian's trip to Stillwater, which was his first, he has made a previous trip to Manhattan - after Sarkisian picked up football again at El Camino College in California after playing baseball for the USC Trojans for a year, Kansas State Wildcats head coach Bill Snyder hosted Sarkisian on a recruiting visit…

The UNC football program will look to rectify its struggles after "bye weeks," as they'll host Pittsburgh in Chapel Hill on Saturday night. For the first time this season, the UNC football program will take the field as a ranked team. Even though they were off last week, the Tar Heels got some help in their pursuit of winning of ACC Coastal…

North Carolina has emerged as a real threat in the ACC. The Tar Heels, led by Mack Brown and Drake Maye, are 7-1, 4-0 in conference and two games ahead of Duke for first place in the ACC Coastal division. Unless disaster strikes down the stretch, they will be tuning up their dynamic passing offense for a showdown with Clemson in the ACC Title game.…

Many were left scratching their heads after Miami's surprise loss to Middle Tennessee State two weeks ago. On Saturday, coming off a bye week, the Hurricanes have a chance to redeem themselves in their Atlantic Coast Conference opener as they host fellow Coastal Division team North Carolina. Miami (2-2 overall, 0-0 in ACC play) started strong in…

You can never have a good Texas vs. Oklahoma game without lots of intrigue and storylines. Saturday morning's Red River Showdown matchup at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas is no exception. Consider: Both the Longhorns and Sooners have quarterback issues; Texas' Quinn Ewers hasn't played since the end of the first quarter against Alabama on Sept. 10 and…

For the first time since 1998, both Texas and Oklahoma will meet in the Red River Shootout as unranked teams in college football's Week 6 action on Saturday. That year marked the first for Mack Brown as Texas head coach. Now another first-year coach steps into the rivalry as Brent Venables leads Oklahoma into the Cotton Bowl against the…

Waking up on the second Saturday in October used to mean wishbone football at the Cotton Bowl with national championship implications. It was Ricky Williams and Adrian Peterson and arguing over who was the better Roy Williams, the one who caught passes for Texas or the pile-diving "Superman" who played at Oklahoma. But Saturday's Red River Showdown…

Texas and Oklahoma converge on the State Fair of Texas once more as the teams face off in the Red River Showdown. Both teams are desperately in search of wins after dropping two games in the first five weeks of the season to fall out of the AP Top 25. Oklahoma suffered its worst regular-season loss since 2014, 55-24, at the hands of TCU. The Horned…

North Carolina football hasn't enjoyed a 4-0 start since 1997, which was, coincidently, the final season for current head coach Mack Brown at the end of his first stint with the Tar Heels. To achieve that record this season will require beating a Notre Dame program UNC has defeated just twice on the field in 22 previous games. The last of those Tar…

Notre Dame is coming off Win No. 1 of the Marcus Freeman era and now takes it on the road to ACC Country against North Carolina in college football's Week 4 action on Saturday. Freeman is coming off his first win as Irish head coach, a close, 7-pointer at home to Cal, while the Tar Heels are perfect through three games, but have been put through…

Welcome to Week 4 of the college football season. Each week, our VSiN experts will combine to give their best bets on select games. It was a 6-6 showing for Week 3, but we're dusting ourselves off and we're back at it for Week 4. Odds are from DraftKings (unless noted) as of Wednesday night. Thursday, 7:30 p.m. ET Adam Burke: We started to see some…

Week two might be my least favorite week of the college football season. The powers that be put enough marquee matchups and conference games on opening weekend to keep things interesting. But that goes by the wayside in week two. Sure, there are couple good non-conference games, but with very few (and none in the ACC) conference games to speak of,…

The Atlantic Coast Conference has a lot to prove this year. With looming questions about conference realignment and the future of the league looming throughout the offseason, the ACC enters the 2022 football season hoping to have at least one team return to the College Football Playoff and have others littered across the Top 25. Clemson (10-3 in…

College football season is nearly here. Forget last Saturday. It's called Week 0 for a reason. Do you really want to believe the first game of the 2022 season was 3-9 Northwestern and 3-9 Nebraska playing halfway around the world? Here at Barrett Sports Media, we are celebrating college football from a media angle. All week long, our editors and…

While I got ya, here are nine things and one crazy prediction: 1. High praise from Herbie. Kirk Herbstreit may be president of the Steve Sarkisian Fan Club. He made it clear in an interview session Tuesday. "I'm a believer. I like where they're going," Herbstreit told me. "I don't know if they're ready to compete in the Big 12 this year or if…

This season UNC fans are in for a special treat when it comes to the running back position. After a dreadful 6-7 season, one of the highlights came from running the ball with transfer Ty Chandler carrying the work load, leading him to get drafted in the fifth round by the Minnesota Vikings. Now with another running back sent to the NFL, UNC finds…
