[net.sport.football] UVa and UNC

The University of Virginia won again on Saturday and now has a 4-0
record.  Not bad for a team that usually struggles to win two or
three games a year.  As a Maryland fan, however, I hope that next
week Virginia will be 4-1.

Also, last week there were many comments about Nebraska running up
the score.  How about North Carolina inflating their win record
by playing division I-AA schools like William and Mary?  Since
W&M is my alma mater, I know that they (W&M) were only doing it for
the money they get from the gate, but how good is North Carolina?
Should they really be ranked #5 or whatever?

UNC has a very good team.  Unfortunately, because of their '83 schedule,
there is no way for them to prove it unless they play against a very
good team in a bowl game.

It's my understanding that football schedules are decided five to ten
years in advance.  UNC wasn't a national power (!) back then (except
in basketball) and I think that's why their schedule is so easy.

                    Go TARHEELS!
