Why The UNC Tarheels Could Make the College Football Playoff
As one of the only active head coaches in college football to win a national championship (2005, Texas) head coach Mack Brown has helped UNC turn a bit of a corner since returning to Chapel Hill in 2019. This will be the first time in five years that the Tar Heels are not led by NFLers Sam Howell or Drake Maye at quarterback, but they did bring in former LSU and Texas A&M quarterback Max Johnson, who has some NFL potential and may not be as big of a drop-off at the position as it could have been. They still have All-ACC running back Omarion Hampton as the bell cow, a solid receiving corp, and two of the best tight ends in the ACC in Bryson Nesbit and John Copenhaver, which means UNC should score some points.
UNC's defense should be solid enough and they return some great presence on the defense line and have a solid secondary, which should allow them to compete with just about anybody.
With not too tough of a schedule this season, could UNC be a sleeper team for the playoffs if Johnson can be a consistent quarterback and the rest of their stars continue to step up? They avoid Clemson, Miami, and Louisville on their schedule and have a relatively easy out-of-conference schedule, that includes NC Central and Charlotte.
Why The UNC Tarheels Might Miss The Playoffs
Currently, FanDuel has UNC with +4000 odds to make the playoffs and +3600 to win the conference, which is eighth in the conference. As previously mentioned, UNC will be starting a new quarterback in Max Johnson and the Tar Heels just may not be as talented as some of the other teams in the ACC that may make the college football playoffs. The ACC is a bit top-heavy heavy with Miami, Louisville, Clemson, and FSU vying for one to two spots in the college football playoff, and right now, oddsmakers do not have UNC as a team selected by the selection committee, despite the fact that they will probably end up in a pretty strong Bowl Game.
UNC Tarheels History in The College Football Playoffs
The Tarheels have not yet made the playoffs, but they are on a five-game bowl steak and last made a major bowl game during the 2020 season, where they played Texas A&M in the Orange Bowl. Unfortunately for UNC fans, they are just 3-11 in their last 14 bowl games and have only made "major bowl games" four times since their first bowl game in 1947.
