The highlight of the college football season climaxed with the College Football Playoff. This year, 12 teams will make the cut, and we are hoping the UNC football is one of those 12 teams. However, CBS Sports is not projecting that to happen.

In a recent release of all bowl projections, Jerry Palm predicts that the Tar Heels will take on the Memphis in Annapolis, Maryland, in the Military Bowl on December 28th.

The Tar Heels are headlined around trying to find a starting quarterback at the present moment. However, that didn't stop ESPN's matchup predictor from having them win 10 games and lose two in the upcoming season.

Despite the quarterback, the offense will be led by running back Omarion Hampton who has just been getting better and better as the years go on. He could surpass 2,000 all-purpose yards this season in blue.

The defense, which was a liability last season, has also been bolstered and is led by Power Echols who is on the watchlist for multiple year-end awards for college football.

The Tar Heels kick off their season on August 29, 2024, on the road against Minnesota on FOX.
