North Carolina: Mack Brown's return to Chapel Hill has helped UNC flash its potential again -- interestingly enough, Brown is the only coach to pry two programs on this list (North Carolina, Texas) out of underachiever status, but he can't erase the past 20 years. UNC is a basketball school and always will be, but football should be much stronger there, given the local recruiting area, the appeal of the university and even some of its hoops connections such as the Jordan brand. No conference titles since 1980 and only one ACC Coastal Division title is unacceptable. North Carolina has only two AP Top 25 finishes since 1997, which marked its last top-10 finish in the final year of Brown's first go-round as coach.
I've been hearing about UNC being a "sleeping giant" now for almost 30 years. They'll have some solid teams that win 10+ games (96, 97, 15) thanks to a lousy schedule while still getting blown out by FSU or Clemson.

All the ACC teams have to do is move to HUNH offenses and change their sideline calls and Venable's defense will fall apart.
