NC State is my alma mater, but I have to be dispassionate here. They have a good record, but the wins which were impressive at the time just aren't really all that impressive in hindsight.

People were impressed when they handed #12 FSU their 2nd loss of the season, but it turns out FSU did not even remotely deserve that ranking.

People were impressed when they handed #17 Louisville their 2nd loss of the season but, as above, Louisville did not deserve that ranking.

NC State has no game against teams currently ranked. Notre Dame is an impressive 2-1, with the 1 loss being by a single point against #3.
