North Carolina or Miami: Which Team Will Win the ACC Coastal in 2021?

Posted May 7, 2021
The ACC Coastal Division is always unpredictable, but I give an edge to North Carolina over Miami for the top spot. The Tar Heels have made steady gains under coach Mack Brown and return 16 overall starters off a team that finished 8-4 and made a trip to the Orange Bowl last season. Scoring points won’t be a problem with Sam Howell under center. (Athlon Sports)
