ESPN talking heads missed a key point on UNCheat.

They were talking about their 9-1 record, and why they aren't ranked higher. Pollack even stated he thought UNC has a great shot to upset Clemson in the ACCCG. Two reasons were given ..... (1) They lost to a bad SC team .... and actually should have won, and (2) Their OOC schedule is weak.
I contend they missed a third point which is very key ..... they did not have to play Louisville, Clemson, or FSU during the regular season. Most likely, they would have lost two of those three, and be sitting at 7-3 right now. It amazes me how people just assume that two teams in the same conference play the same schedule each year. This scenario is exactly how Duke has had recent success. ESPN loves to hype games they are broadcasting, so expect to hear more about how great UNC is before we play them. I think our punter can take the night off during that game. No way they stop us.

If your OOC schedule = NCA&T, Delaware, & a (L) to 3-7 SC

UNC in the ACC = Iowa in the B1G

UNC avoided CLEM, FSU, and Louisville from the Atlantic
Iowa avoided Ohio State, Michigan State, and Michigan from the other division of the Big 10.
both of those teams will have to prove it against a good team before they get much respect

am I missing a key point?

Everyone has the Tarholes penciled in as our foe, but don't they have to win AT Virginia Tech in Frank Beamer's last home game, which would make the Hokies bowl eligible for the 23rd straight season? And if UNCheat loses in Blacksburg, it comes down to their game vs. NC State? Just asking.

All Pitt has to do is lose

one more and they are out of contention. That is why UNC is pretty much in. Pitt goes if they win out and UNC goes O-fer.
