It might not even be possible depending on what happens with the schedule, but the main intriguing story surrounding UNC football was whether they could take a step forward to 10 wins.
A 10-win season in general is the mark of an elite season in college football. If you’re in a power conference, there’s a good chance you end up in the top 15 at the very least. It’s an especially big mark for UNC, who only have eight 10+ win seasons in school history. Mack Brown is responsible for three of them, and his second tenure has pretty much every Tar Heel fan optimistic that he’ll add to that in the coming years.
