2011 Preseason ACC Football Power Rankings
Posted Aug 29, 2011
4. North Carolina: Quinton Coples and Donte Paige-Moss are two of the best defensive ends in the nation. The offensive line looks stronger than years past. Dwight Jones may be the best receiver in the ACC. If quarterback Byrn Renner plays anything like T.J. Yates did last year, the Tar Heels are going to impress and Withers is going to make a case to stay on as head coach.
