^note 1 The game between North Carolina and Wake Forest is being played as a non-conference game and will therefore not count in the conference standings.[17] This was done because the two rivals otherwise only play once every six years due to conference divisional alignment.

ACC vs Power 5 matchups
This is a list of the power conference teams (Big 10, Big 12, Pac-12, Notre Dame and SEC).

The designated non-conference game between North Carolina and Wake Forest is not included in this list. All rankings are from the current AP Poll at the time of the game.
