We take a look at the new UNC Football schedule that was introduced earlier this week by the ACC as they hope to play this Fall

On Wednesday, the Atlantic Coast Conference announced a new plan for the 2020 college football season, introducing a 10-game conference schedule. It also features one non-conference game per team that must be held in the state of that ACC team.

So good news.

ACC football is coming back, and so is head coach Mack Brown and the Carolina Tar Heels as they look to continue the progress the football program made last season.

The Tar Heels showed true promise last season finishing with a record of 7-6, and despite not having the best record in the ACC they without a doubt made statements throughout the season.

That included the nail biter game against the Clemson Tigers, and ringing the victory bell against arch-rival Duke. UNC’s offense was a big improvement and now Sam Howell and his top targets Dyami Brown and Dazz Newsome are back and now have their stage set as they look to bring the offensive fire into 2020.

As Tar Heels fans look to a new season, here are the teams that the Heels will face, ranked from easiest to toughest, on their journey to an ACC championship.
