Syracuse vs. UNC Football: The Formula for a Tar Heel Victory Posted Oct 24, 2026 After beating No. 25 Pitt 21-17 and following it with a 24-20 rivalry win at Duke, the Tar Heels have won back-to-back ACC road games and improved to 4-2 overall and 2-1 in the ACC standings. Next up is a Syracuse team whose 2-4 record may be a little misleading. Bill Belichick said this week that the Orange are “a few plays away from being 6-0." (Tar Heel Blue)
