Ranking the ACC's Toughest Non-Conference College Football Schedules in 2016

Posted Apr 6, 2016
6. North Carolina: The opener against the Bulldogs in the Georgia Dome will be a huge test against a team that should vie for the SEC East title. The Tar Heels then travel to face an Illinois team that they should beat, but a Power Five opponent nonetheless. The other two non-conference games, against James Madison and The Citadel, should be relatively easy wins. (Athlon Sports)
