Eh, I think so. UNC-CH is still ranked 21st right now. Even if one doesn’t think they’re that good this year, they’re still a lot better than UVa’s previous two opponents (William & Mary and Illinois). Plus it’s UVa’s first road game and a conference game, night game. I imagine UNC-CH will be fired up for this one and will have a good crowd ready to go. It likely will be a pretty imposing place to try and win a road conference game.
FWIW, the line is UVa +9 right now.
Plus it is the South’s Oldest Rivalry!
