Here Come the Tarheels

Out of nowhere, the North Carolina Tarheels have jumped into the forefront of the SEC & National Championship mix. Coach ChrisHicks21's squad has reeled off incredible upset victories over then #4 LSU (27-21) and #10 Florida (28-17) to vault to #6 in the BCS.

The Tarheels still need to defeat the #15 Tennessee Volunteers to claim a return trip to the SEC title game to face the winner of Week 11's game between LSU and Alabama. The Crimson Tide, despite having 2 losses on the season, are ranked #5 in the BCS and, if they defeat LSU, would be favored to reach the national title game again.

Like last season, the SEC title game winner will likely match up against the winner of the Big 12 Championship, which will feature #7 Ohio State vs. #2 Oklahoma/#8 Miami.
