Anything less than 9-3 will be considered a disappointment. -- Andrea AdelsonThe schedule is tougher, but the defense should be better. And the offense is simply loaded relative to the rest of the Coastal. A 10-2 campaign and repeat trip to Charlotte for the league title game is on the horizon for these rising Heels. -- Matt FortunaMitch Trubisky should pick up right where Marquise Williams left off as the Tar Heels QB, and if the defense takes a step forward in Year 2 under Gene Chizik, theres no reason North Carolina cant finish 10-2 and a Coastal Division title again in 2016. -- David M. HaleThe rush defense might not be much better, but the offense has the potential to score from anywhere on the field and mask defensive deficiencies. A 10-2 regular season will have them as repeat Coastal champions. ?-- Jared ShankerNo. 23 Iowa | No. 25 San Diego State | Top 25 ' ' '
