What's with the love for the Tar Heels in FB this year?
Mar 24, 2014, 2:56 PM
|

I get that they are possibly a team on the rise, but seems like lots of morons (well, maybe that answers my question right there) like SECSPN's Schlabach are quick to confidently rank them ahead of us going into this fall.
I guess my question is did I miss something? They got embarrassed by East Carolina at home. And the only reason they ended the regular season on a 5-game win streak is because the competition, frankly, was laughable. Oh, yeah, and they beat a mediocre team Cincy team in a bowl.
I just don't see them anywhere even remotely close to us in terms of talent or experience on either side of the ball.
So, what am I missing?

They know their division is hot garbage and feel like they have a chance at winning it.

but that's speculation and in no way, it seems to me, would warrant them being ranked ahead of us.

Or their rookie QB looked good

[ in reply to their young QB looked good down the stretch. if they had ] |

because the level of competition took a nosedive after game #6. A 3 win team (NC State), two 7 win teams (Pitt and BC) an 8 win FCS team (ODU), and a bowl win over a 9 win Cincy team who beat nobody last year and lost to both USF and Illinois. That's a big reason why UNC looked so formidable when Williams took over.

No clue. Their D is garbage and their O isn't great
Mar 24, 2014, 3:21 PM

with our front 7 I expect to stone wall their offense this year and by that point in the season our O should have gelled well enough to exploit their porous defense.

We need other ACC teams to pull their weight and provide some semblance of competition. Of course, we will smack them down hard.

I think miami Georgia tech va tech were better competition than most teams in the Atlantic such as wake forest bc nc state and Syracuse. And Pitt was better too I think. Fla state way above the rest of course.

the media does this. Remember those are the same jokers who told you how great Logan Thomas was going to be year after year. So listen at your own peril

Stronger Foundations Are Emerging For UNC ----
Mar 24, 2014, 5:05 PM

Elijah Hood and TJ Logan will provide a decent
run attack...decent wide-outs...decent quarterback
not sure about their O-line and defense but everything
could go in a good direction for them since they have another year in Fedora's system.Just will have
to be sure that they are outscored

I must be missing something as well. I know they are putting some pieces together.. Hood should be a beast, but I don't understand the love. I think Fedora is a pretty smart coach, but I think they are still a few years away from "arriving." That is...if they ever arrive.
