If NC State can replicate Saturday's showing against Clemson in places like Winston-Salem and Chestnut Hill, the Pack could well earn a spot in the ACC Championship game in Charlotte. And the Atlantic Division has owned the Coastal of late in the annual league showdown. No Coastal team has laid claim to the ACC Title since Virginia Tech in 2010.

Holliday: Things UNC must fix before September 18 against Virginia
