First 3 Games Carried Unusual Footnote To UNC Football Schedule

Posted Sep 15, 2022
The last season in which North Carolina opened its football schedule playing three non-Power 5 programs was in 2014. In fact, prior to August 27, that was the last time UNC didn’t play a P5 team in its opener. Why has this come up? Since the 2022 Tar Heels also took on three non-P5 teams to begin the season, it made sense to dive into this a bit more. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
