The media hype surrounding the UNC football program is at all-time high, but the expectations for the 2025 squad don't seem to match it.
On Wednesday, the annual ACC Preseason Poll was released, as North Carolina was projected by the media to finish eighth in the conference standings.
Clemson was the clear-cut favorite to win the ACC, while Miami, SMU, Georgia Tech and Louisville round out the top five. There was quite a gap between the Tar Heels and Florida State (No. 7 in the poll), as the Seminoles earned over 300 more points in the voting process.
