The best college football seasons for basketball powerhouses

Posted Sep 29, 2022
North Carolina's most recent ACC football championship came in 1980 with a defense that was bolstered by Lawrence Taylor. It won the ACC title and finished the season as the No. 10-ranked team with an 11-1 overall record that included going undefeated in conference play. UNC has only had 11-win seasons two other times since then (1997, 2015). (ESPN.com)
