1. North Carolina: 10-2 (Offense 10, Defense 8, ST 1)
This is my dark horse pick in the ACC, and I am going to ride them until they give out on me. That may come very soon, because they play Virginia Tech and Miami back to back, on Sep. 20 and 27 respectively. If they don't break even, they can kiss their title hopes goodbye.
However, I do not believe that will happen for a couple of reasons. There is this coach named Butch Davis. I don't know if you've heard of him, but he's a decent college coach and a decent recruiter (sarcasm).
This team will be the most improved team in the nation aside from Notre Dame. They have incredible talent at their skill positions. Look for QB T.J. Yates to break his own school passing records this season. UNC will reap the fortunes of other teams in their division having down years and having to fill voids on their rosters (VT).
One key area where Carolina lacks athletic ability is on defense. While they have eight returning starters, it will be imperative for them to step up this season. Quan Sturdivant will need to step up and become the leader on the defense for this team to win the Coastal.
Look for them to benefit from a weak second-half schedule if they can get through Virginia Tech and Miami.
