It’s the final week of the regular season, and the biggest question still facing the ACC surrounds North Carolina (10-1) and its potential as a playoff team.
At No. 14, the Tar Heels certainly aren’t a lock for the playoff even if they win out. But as a conference champion with 12 straight wins, a UNC team that wins out would have a good case.
