4. North Carolina (3-0, 1-0 ACC): Interim coach Everett Withers did something neither Butch Davis or John Bunting managed – win his first ACC game. A 28-17 triumph over Virginia was the Tar Heels’ first win in their ACC opener since 2000. The Tar Heels were outgained 468-401 in yardage, but the difference was forcing three turnovers while committing just one. (ACC Sports Journal)
