The No. 4 Duke Blue Devils and the No. 14 North Carolina Tar Heels are about to play in one of the most highly anticipated games of the regular season.
Not only is it one of the biggest rivalries in all of sports (not just basketball and not just college), but the two teams boast two of the star freshmen in the country and are both in the top-15 of the national rankings.
However, about seven and a half hours before the game tips off, ESPN's College GameDay will get the show rolling in Chapel Hill.
