College Preview: Power 5 Conference Picks & More In Week 12

The homestretch of the season is upon us as Week 12 of the regular season dawns.

ACC: North Carolina vs. Louisville

A face-off between two teams that have enjoyed upstart, somewhat-surprising seasons in 2019, this ACC series also pits against one another the two teams who earned series wins over defending National Champions Florida State in earlier conference play.

North Carolina owns non-conference wins over Georgia, South Carolina, and Northwestern, and the Tar Heels are riding a streak of back-to-back conference series wins after upsetting Florida State and Virginia Tech in consecutive weekends.

Louisville boasts a .611 winning percentage in conference play, having lost conference series to Notre Dame and Virginia Tech, but owning a huge 2-out-of-3 weekend performance against Florida State in early April.

The two teams should matchup well together and one will earn a leg-up in the final weeks of jockeying for position in the ACC standings.
