With soft ACC schedule, UNC Football easily could exceed predicted 8th-place finish

Posted Jul 31, 2025
Coach Bill Belichick’s first UNC football team could easily exceed its predicted eighth-place ACC finish, thanks to a forgiving schedule. If a roster that includes 60 newcomers can come together quickly, the path to a much higher finish is there. Much of the preseason attention has focused on UNC’s soft schedule. Tuesday's ACC poll only amplified that. (Tar Heel Tribune)
