One of the reasons why UNC is such a favorite this year is not because they are so much better than last year, rather, all of the other great teams from last year have taken a hit, and no one has filled that void. IMO, UNC has played a tougher schedule this year, than they did last year. They have also been more consistent. Last year Davidson, BYU, OSU, Kentucky, and Nicholls State all kept it within 11, this year, no one has.
