The 2024 college football season continues Friday and Saturday with a robust Week Two schedule, including a Top 25-vs.-Top 25 matchup (one of only two in the country this week) in Charlotte and another nearby contest matching two of the winningest programs of the last decade.

#14 Tennessee (1-0) battles #24 NC State (1-0) on Saturday (7:30 pm, ABC/ESPN+) at Bank of America Stadium in the Queen City.

The Volunteers (All-American defensive end James Pearce Jr.) and Wolfpack (All-ACC wide receiver KC Concepcion) each have an elite player who was a high school star in Charlotte. Pearce and Concepcion both played at Chambers High, which is only about 10 miles from Bank of America Stadium.

While Atlantic Coast Conference teams went 7-5 in head-to-head matchups against Southeastern Conference squads in 2023, the SEC is off to a 2-1 advantage in the early going this year. In another ACC-SEC contest this week, California (1-0) visits Auburn (1-0) on Saturday (3:30 pm, ESPN2).

Elsewhere, when Appalachian State (1-0) visits #25 Clemson (0-1) on Saturday (8 pm, ACCN), the game will match two of the winningest Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) teams of the last decade.

Since the Mountaineers made the jump from the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) in 2014, they have 96 victories, which is tied (with Notre Dame) for sixth-most in the nation during that stretch. The top five are Alabama (128), Clemson (119) Ohio State (116), Georgia (115) and Oklahoma (103).

Meanwhile, all seven of North Carolina’s FCS teams are in action Saturday, with four of them going head-to-head.

Western Carolina (0-1), which is #17 in the FCS rankings after playing very well at NC State last weekend, hosts Campbell (0-1) in the afternoon (1 pm, ESPN+). NC Central (1-0), which beat Alabama State in a game nationally televised on ESPN in Week One, hosts Elon (0-1) in an evening tilt (6 pm, ESPN+).

North Carolina’s top-ranked Division Two team, #13 Lenoir-Rhyne (0-0), will open its 2024 schedule at home against Bowie State (0-0) on Saturday (1 pm, FloSports). The Bears, who finished 13-2 and made the national semifinals of the playoffs last season, have a new head coach in Doug Socha, who was hired after Mike Jacobs left to take an FCS job at Mercer.

Week Two also marks the beginning of the 2024 season for most Division Three programs, including the in-state teams at Greensboro, Guilford, Methodist and North Carolina Wesleyan.
