Top 20 UNC Football Teams: No. 5 - 1996

In North Carolina's 1996 home-opener at home versus Clemson, UNC sent a very loud message: Tar Heels 45, Tigers 0. Week later at Syracuse, which was a perennial Top-20 program in the 1990s, the Tar Heels wore down the Orange 27-10. Both games were on national TV and had national pundits talking about the exploding football program in Chapel Hill. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
