NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS FOOTBALL SCHEDULE

The North Carolina Tar Heels are ready to dig in and take on all of the best teams in the sport of college football this season. The Tar Heels have a ton of talent this season, just as is the case most years for this impressive program. North Carolina competes within the ranks of the Atlantic Coast Conference, and their fans know that it's always a tough road to the top of the standings in a league of this caliber. Last season, North Carolina was able to finish atop the Coastal Division standings in the ACC thanks to 11 total wins and an undefeated conference record. The Tar Heels would love to repeat that success, or even improve on it, this time around. This should be another amazing season of football action, and you can be in on it when you get out to see the best games on the schedule.

One of the top matchups on the docket this season will arrive in October when the Heels take on the Florida State Seminoles. The Seminoles are always one of the top teams in the ACC, and that should again be true in 2016. FSU won 10 games last season and made a prominent bowl game, and they should be tough to beat this year. These two teams did not meet last year, so it will be interesting to see who comes out on top in 2016.

Another big game is set for November when the Heels travel down Tobacco Road to take on the Duke Blue Devils. These two schools have a big-time rivalry, and seeing a game like this in person is something that every UNC fan should experience at least once. If you've never been out to see UNC-Duke, then change that this season by securing your seats in the stadium. The schedule has other great matchups on the horizon as well.
