Posted Jul 20, 2017
Not once has UNC’s final spot in the ACC football standings reflected where it was projected to land in the preseason. In fact, UNC’s two first-place finishes came during years in which it was predicted to finish third (2012) and fifth (2015). So it’s difficult to imagine that Larry Fedora will lose any sleep over his squad landing at No. 5 in the 2017 preseason standings. (FanRag Sports)
