Picking ACC dark horses: The state of North Carolina can shake things up this year

The media has UNC football pegged to finish fifth in the Coastal Division in 2017. I can understand the reasoning. The biggest thing is that the Heels lose Mitch Trubisky, who went No. 2 overall in the NFL Draft. The other concerns about these argyle-sporting warriors stem from the team's overall youth. But those young players might be more talented than you think. (CBS Sports)
