The North Carolina Tar Heels have already surpassed the expectations of most this season, nabbing victories over Power 5 teams in each of their first two games of 2019. Those two victories — thrillers against South Carolina and Miami — match the Tar Heels’ win total from a season ago when they went 2-9 in former head coach Larry Fedora’s final year in Chapel Hill.
After their quick start, the Tar Heels are just four wins away from being bowl eligible with 10 games remaining on the season. That’s got North Carolina fans optimistic, and college football pundits talking postseason possibilities for the Tar Heels.
