ACC Football Top 10 non-conference games continued

Kentucky at Louisville
Though the teams first played in 1912, they only played six times. The rivalry resumed in 1994 with a new Governor’s Cup trophy after 70 years. Last year, the Wildcats ended their regular season with a big win over No. 25 Louisville. Kentucky leads the all-time series  19–15!

Florida State at Florida
The annual Sunshine Showdown, a bitter rivalry with two coaches in” must-win” seasons. If 2023 plays out like many think it will at FSU, the Noles could be playing the regular-season finale for a chance to reach the Playoffs. Second-year Florida coach Billy Napier is 0-3 in rivalry games last season, with losses to FSU, Tennessee, and Georgia. He looks to change that in 2023. Florida leads the all-time series  37–27–2.

North Carolina vs. South Carolina (in Charlotte, NC)
Battle of the Carolinas: The two flagship universities of the Carolinas, South Carolina, and North Carolina, will renew their rivalry on the gridiron at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte to open the 2023 season. This has the potential of being a tremendous game featuring a marquee non-conference matchup. This will be the 60th meeting in the series that dates back to 1903. North Carolina leads the all-time series, 35-20-4.
