NC State v. East Carolina (Saturday, 12:00 pm)

Over the past three seasons, East Carolina is 5-3 against Power Five competition. Four of those wins have come against Virginia Tech and North Carolina. The fifth was a 42-28 victory over the Wolfpack in Raleigh in 2013.

With road games against South Carolina and Virginia Tech looming over the next two weeks, this is ECU’s best shot at claiming a Power Five victory for a fourth straight year.

Next: Cincinnati vs. Purdue
