" ... The reason it isn’t higher on this list is because it’s the first game, and it’s non-conference: You’d rather win it, obviously, but if you lose it and use it for lessons that help you to a strong season, then it gets forgotten. "
I prefer UNC to win this game, but they have valid points. Look at what UNC was able to do following the South Carolina game last season. UNC was clearly the better team.
