NC State football finished the regular season 9-3 after defeating UNC football, 39-20, at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, NC. Depending on the result of the ACC Championship between Florida State football and Louisville football, there's a possibility that Dave Doeren and NC State Wolfpack can be competing in a New Year's Six game, that being the Orange Bowl. The decision will fall on the College Football Playoff Rankings and how the CFP views the win by Louisville football over NC State football earlier in the season.
