Best-case scenario for each ACC football team in 2021

Posted May 24, 2021
North Carolina Tar Heels: 12-0. There’s a decent chance that UNC will have the best player on the field each week in quarterback Sam Howell, who could become the No. 1 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. That alone will give the Tar Heels a shot in every game, but they must avoid upsets. If they can do that, it could be an unforgettable year in Chapel Hill. (247 Sports)
