How we count
Records are summed once per game on this schedule, so an opponent who shows up twice is counted twice. Before playing NC State uses only that opponent's games completed before the kickoff. vs. NC State is the opponents' combined record in those head-to-head games. After playing NC State uses only games completed later. Total adds the three together. Canceled, postponed, and vacated games are excluded. Winning percentage counts a tie as half a win.
