The Tar Heels got a shot to their football team this year when they were able to bring back Mack Brown to lead their team. North Carolina went from two wins in 2018 to seven wins last year. Not only did they win seven games, but they also came within a failed two-point conversion away from upsetting defending champion Clemson.

This is another Power Five school that would be a good matchup with Indiana and would be fun to play also. These two schools are normally known for their basketball teams, but to get them on a football field together would be a treat.

Like Ole Miss and Mississippi State, the Tar Heels are trying to build their way up their conference and would get some new blood into Bloomington.

North Carolina and Indiana are pretty evenly matched on the football field right now and would be good wins for each team. They would get a power five win and one that would help their resume. Nobody is confusing them for national powers right now, but they are still respectable teams that would be a good win.
