The Tar Heels are predicted to be one of the best teams in the ACC this year. Led by head coach Mack Brown, the Tar Heels went 7-6 last year, just a year removed from a 2-9 season. Featuring sophomore quarterback Sam Howell, the Tar Heels had the 25th ranked passing offense in 2019, and are projected to be as strong if not stronger this season.
