SI picks for games this weekend

5 of the 8 pick Miami

I wonder if even 3 would have picked UNC before the SoCar game.

absolutely not.

absolutely not.

And even I couldn't blame them, after saying all last year that considering the Coastal, with the right coaching, the UNC team, same injuries, could have been in the race for division champ and won it. If that Pitt team could do so, then last year's UNC team could have if it had been coached well.

Most times, it takes a new coach into the 2nd, or even 3rd, year to correct the losing ways and attitude of a staff that won 5 games over 2 seasons. If UNC wins tomorrow night, those players will know for certain that they can be Coastal champs this season.
