jchall3 8 Mack Brown as never looked better in powder blue- and his Tar heels, much like the Cyclones above, look to be in great position to make a run at it this year. They too benefit from a returning QB and key talent.

NotSoSuperNerd 12 They had some headscratchers last year, but they are definitely trending in the right direction. 
owlalwaysloveyew 12
steelcitygator 12 Consistency.  That's the question this team will face.  Offense can put up gaudy numbers and defense isn't bad by any means but can they keep that level week to week and reach that ACC contender as some are projecting.  Talent that Mack Brown has been bringing in finally taking the main roles.

woakley 13 This team returns a strong QB and has recruited well in recent years. They lose their top running back, but Mack Brown has completely turned this program around

crownebeach 14 I think Sam Howell is largely as good as advertised, but I don't really get the North Carolina hype. There's definitely a world where they outscore everybody they play 52-42, but I am the biggest Jay Bateman hater on the planet -- I just do not see how this team gets better defensively after losing Chazz Surratt, who was their best player by an order of magnitude. I don't hate them as a pick to win the Coastal, but the division has improved enough that they could fall as far as fourth.
