While many are looking forward to another winning season from UNC Football, Bovada Online Gaming released the Tar Heels only have a 100/1 chance of winning the national title this season.

Bovada, an online gambling and betting destination for sports enthusiasts, released their 2014-2015 national championship odds for 51 college football teams last week.

The team at the top of the list to win the national title is the ACC’s own Florida State Seminoles, led by sophomore quarterback Jameis Winston, with an 11/2 chance. The next ACC teams with better odds to win are Clemson with a 66/1 chance and Miami at 75/1, with UNC filling the 4th best spot in the conference.

Although Bovada hasn’t given the Tar Heels much of a fighting chance, Coach Larry Fedora and his new-and-improved squad are ranked 18th in the preseason by Bleacher Report and projected to make a name for their program through the new College Football Playoff format.
