4. North Carolina (4-1, 1-1): The Tar Heels’ 35-20 road win over East Carolina was more impressive than the final score indicates. They led 28-3 at the half. Bryn Renner, who may be the most underrated QB in the ACC, tossed four TD passes and has completed 75 percent of his passes for the year. Giovani Bernard broke the 100-yard rushing mark for the third straight game. (ACC Sports Journal)
