per ESPN:
The North Carolina Tar Heels and Wake Forest Demon Deacons have achieved a scheduling first: The ACC schools announced Monday they have agreed to a home-and-home nonconference series in 2019 and 2021.
This is the first time two Power 5 teams from the same league have agreed to face each other in nonconference play. The games will not count in the league standings.
"This is a unique opportunity to play a regional rival in years that fall outside the normal conference rotation," North Carolina athletic director Bubba Cunningham said. "We have a long history with Wake Forest that has historical value and will generate interest within our fans."
North Carolina and Wake Forest are in separate divisions in the ACC and no longer play annually. Because of that, the two have only met four times since 2004.
