The UNC football team will be looking to rebound after a disappointing season in 2017. These will be the four most important games if they hope to return to the ACC Championship Game.

The UNC football team looked to be a team on the rise under Larry Fedora, winning 19 out of 27 games from 2015 to 2016. This run included going 13-3 within the ACC and included a trip to the Championship Game in 2015, falling to the Clemson Tigers.

However, 2017 was a much different story as the Tar Heels struggled to a 3-9 record, losing eight of their first nine games. They did rebound to win two of their final three and will look to use some of that momentum heading into 2018.

The good news for the Tar Heels is they will be avoiding some of the tougher teams during the regular season with no games against Clemson, Florida State or Louisville. It will still be an uphill climb for this team and these are the four games that will likely decide their success in 2018.
