In 2020, they returned a mess of RBs and WRs. And they finished as well as they started, delivering the best season of the Mack Brown era.

In 2022 they lost their No. 1, No. 3 and No. 4 receivers. And their starting running back. And four starting offensive linemen. But they did have a five-star QB everyone knew would be good.

I don't understand WHY YOU NEED TO MAKE UP A BUNCH OF NONSENSE THAT'S NOT TRUE. Shoot, people didn't even think they'd stink. People thought they'd be a an OK ACC team unless the defense was less shitty. And they were a better than OK ACC team despite the defense, in part because the ACC was quiet, quite shitty.
Okay, so it was 2021 and not 2020.  I got the year wrong, but 2021 proves my point even more.  UNC was preseason top 15 in 2021, having lost their top 2 WRs and 2 RBs, but because Howell was there, they were supposed to be good....winding up going 6-7.
I'm sorry I was a year off.

A good solid OL and backfield can really help a young inexperienced QB.   Under those circumstances winning a conference championship is quite possible.

One might look at current top 25 predictions on line and note which might be too high due to over valuing the TQB component.
