Duke best in the state? Believe it

Posted Oct 28, 2009
It has been a tough year for college football in North Carolina, no doubt about it. At this point, it's conceivable not a single team will make a bowl game. If the Tar Heels had held on against Florida State, they might be No. 1 on this list. Instead, their bowl hopes continue to dim, they face an insanely tough road game at Virginia Tech and injuries continue to mount. Prediction: 6-6, no bowl (Raleigh News & Observer)
