North Carolina Tar Heels Season Prediction, What Will Happen

Can North Carolina win the games it’s supposed to?

Last season’s team might have been a disappointment, but it was strong enough to roll by Virginia, beat Wake Forest, and at least get to a bowl game. It was also flaky enough to lose to Georgia Tech, Florida State, and get lit up by South Carolina.

There might be a whole lot of reworking to do, and the hype is certainly gone compared to before the 2021 season, but if the team can just take care of the games it should win, this could be an interesting season with real, live hope to end up in the ACC Championship if everything goes perfectly.

No, this probably isn’t the second-best team in the ACC – or even in the top five to start the season – but the schedule …

There’s no Clemson. Start with that, and continue with the big games against Notre Dame and NC State in Chapel Hill.

Yeah, they have to play both combatants in last year’s ACC Championship, but the date with Pitt is coming after a week off, and Wake Forest isn’t that bad a road trip.

Going to Miami and Virginia are dangerous, and there’s a run of four ACC games in five dates, but overall there isn’t a game on the slate North Carolina shouldn’t be able to win.

There will be a misfire or two somewhere – seriously, watch out for the trip to Appalachian State early on – but the schedule isn’t going to get too much more favorable than this.

Now the team has to be up to the challenge.
