Unbeaten Tar Heels move up again in both polls, highest AP rank this late in 8 years

Undefeated North Carolina moved up in the AP Top 25 poll for the fifth consecutive week, becoming a top-10 team for the first time since the preseason 2021 poll. The Tar Heels (6–0, 3–0 ACC) are up two spots to No. 10 after their 41–31 home victory Saturday over Miami, which was No. 25 but is now unranked. UNC is 56–22 as a ranked team in 15 seasons under Coach Mack Brown.
