UNC football slides in the Week 4 AP Poll release

Despite the win, the Heels received less votes in this week’s AP Poll than last.

Week 3 was a roller coaster game for UNC football. NC Central came out and took seven minutes off the clock before scoring the first touchdown of the game and trailed by just seven points heading into the halftime break.

After a scoreless third quarter, the Heels finally broke loose in the fourth quarter with four, unanswered touchdowns, mostly on the ground, scoring 28 points and winning 45-10 in the game.

In the latest release of the AP Poll following Week 3, UNC football received just three votes. Last week, they weren’t in the Top 25, but they did receive seven votes which was up from Week 1.

In terms of the ACC, Miami is up to No. 8 in the rankings. Louisville sits at No. 19 and Clemson is No. 21 as the only conference representatives in the Top 25 teams in the country.

This is contrary to the Coaches Poll where UNC was up to 14 votes for a spot in the ranking. The schedule has been easy and the wins haven’t been pretty. It should be up from here as Carolina gets going for another undefeated week welcoming James Madison to Kenan Memorial Stadium next week.
