The top-ranked, 3-0 Florida State Seminoles of coach Bobby Bowden met the 1-1 North Carolina Tar Heels of coach Carl Torbush. The Seminoles used a 28-point 1st quarter to dominate the Tar Heels in a 42-10 rout. Florida State's RB Travis Minor scored twice on runs of 14 & 5 yards, S Sean Key returned an interception 25 yards for a score, & All-American WR Peter Warwick returned a punt 75 yards for another score.

The next Tar Heels' drive ended after a first down & Warrick put the game effectively out of reach with his return score.
