For UNC-Chapel Hill, you're pretty much screwed. It's very selective for out-of-state people, almost as much so as UVA : /

as for the other state schools, I don't know too much about them, but I don't think you should have too much trouble at any of them except perhaps Clemson.

P.S. UNC sucks at football.....but basketball? Different story...haha

Tip:
don't include the "lifting sessions" as ecs.
This has come up before. Unless you compete as a bodybuilder or power lifter, it's really just seen as part of working out in general, and not an ec, per se.

Hey man. I'd tell you that you have much better chances at the private schools most likely, seeing how state schools demand higher marks from out of state kids.
I would say UNC you have very little chance.
UF and Georgia Tech are maybes,
the rest I think you will very likely be accepted to.

To Auburn, Bama, and USC you are a sure acceptee, I would think.

As a Crimson Tide fan... GO for U Alabama! haha.
if you want football, I think it's hard to get more football fanatic than that school. especially with Saban in there. He's got some really amazing recruits.
