Heels haven't had it easy on the football field

The Tar Heels enter the 2006 season having played tougher schedules than any team in the nation over the past five years, according to a compilation of Sagarin ratings. UNC is the only team in the country to play a top-five schedule each of the past two years, and it's one of only three schools -- Notre Dame and Stanford are the others -- to play a top-20 schedule in each of the last five years. The University of North Carolina? More like the School of Hard Knocks. (Durham Herald-Sun)
