North Carolina has a chance to further tighten its stranglehold on the final ACC Coastal Division championship race when it plays Pittsburgh at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill on Saturday night.

The No. 21-ranked Tar Heels (6-1, 3-0 ACC) have a two-game lead in the Coastal Division standings over Georgia Tech (3-4, 2-2) and Duke (5-3, 2-2). Pittsburgh (4-3, 1-2), last year’s ACC champion, needs a win to retain any chance of catching the Tar Heels in the standings.

This is the final season the Coastal Division champion meets the Atlantic Division champion in the ACC championship game. Starting next season, the ACC won’t split the league into divisions to determine its title game participants.

The Tar Heels can take a big step closer to an historic achievement on Saturday night. After playing Pittsburgh, UNC has four ACC games remaining: at Virginia (Nov. 5), at Wake Forest (Nov. 12) and home games with Georgia Tech (Nov. 19) and N.C. State (Nov. 25).
