The North Carolina Tar Heels have an overall team rating of 79 in EA Sports' College Football 27 video game.
This rating comes after a disappointing 4-8 season under coach Bill Belichick.
The Tar Heels have a higher offensive rating of 80 than defensive rating of 78.
This is surprising given their poor performance in major offensive categories last season, averaging 288.8 yards per game.
DE Melkart Abou-Jaoude has the highest rating at 89 overall, ranking 20th in the ACC.
Other top-rated players include CB Kaleb Cost at 86 overall and RB Demon June at 84 overall.
The team's next game is vs TCU Horned Frogs on August 29.
With much of the defensive unit's experience returning, including star edge rusher Melkart Abou-Jaoude, fans may see improvements in the team's performance.
The Tar Heels will look to bounce back from a frustrating season and make a stronger showing in the ACC.
And with a higher offensive rating than defensive rating, the team may focus on capitalizing on scoring opportunities.
But the team's overall rating of 79 suggests they still have work to do to compete with top teams.
So fans will be watching closely to see how the team performs in the upcoming season.
The Tar Heels' highest-rated players will be key to their success, including Kaleb Cost and Demon June.
