1. What the **** is the hype with UNC? The finished 7-6 and lost their NFL QB. I know they won 6of7 to finish the season but they beat no one.

2. Just like last year we can make an early impression and make a big jump in the poles after 4 weeks.

Their "NFL QB" was an NFL QB kind of in the same way that Morris was. Marquise Williams will probably be the replacement and is a better fit for Fedora's system with his ability to run. Also pretty sure these guys won 7 of 8 to close the season, with a close loss to Duke being all that stopped them from winning all 8. No matter who you are, in a Big 5 conference, that is impressive. We oughta know, as we wilt like ******* daisies down the stretch every season.

Lot of momentum around that program and people like Larry Fedora. Couple that with the fact they play in a division perceived nationally as weak and the fact that they avoid FSU and Louisville this year and you can see why they snuck into the Top 25.

This is their schedule:

Sat, Aug 30 Liberty
Sat, Sep 06 San Diego State
Sat, Sep 20 at East Carolina
Sat, Sep 27 at Clemson
Sat, Oct 04 Virginia Tech
Sat, Oct 11 at Notre Dame
Sat, Oct 18 Georgia Tech
Sat, Oct 25 at Virginia
Sat, Nov 01 at Miami
Sat, Nov 15 Pittsburgh
Thu, Nov 20 at Duke

Only surefire losses there are Notre Dame and Clemson. Let's, for projection's sake, say they split the Duke/Miami games.

Unless they go full Gator and lose to either SDSU or ECU, they will most likely be a 9-3 team, which could very easily get them into the back end of the Top 25.

I totally agree. The only reason the UNC game was even close last year is because Duke got injured in the 1st quarter and Ebron tore us apart, but this year we'll have Duke and they won't have Ebron. I don't see any reason to say that UNC will be better than us.

Your explanation highlights one of the problems with rankings to begin with. Anyone of the voters who based their ranking of UNC even in part on the fact that UNC has an easy schedule should lose their right to vote. The ranking is supposed to be based on how good of a team you think it is, not how easy of a road they have to get a good record.

I agree, the polls are ******* stupid and shouldn't be released until Mid-October. But, someone asked why the "hype" around UNC and that is what I gave. A plausible defense.

Nov 1st buddy, NOV FIRST!!!
 
First game of the season matter 1000000 times more than preseason poll for us. Last year's ranking when we were 7-0 against weak schedule and with shaking performances tells you how desperate TV and polls are for us to get back in the game. As much as they hated us, we make great TV and TV matters more than ever.
 
Miami: with 45 votes we come in at 34th

Our Schedule:

@Louisville: 36th
Florida A&M: UR
Arkansas State: UR
@Nebraska: 22nd
Duke: 35th
@Georgia Tech: 47th
Cincinnati: UR
Bye
@Virginia Tech:41st
North Carolina:23rd
Bye
Florida State: 1
@Virginia: UR
Pittsburgh: UR


Not a cake walk that's for sure but I am excited to see what this teams got.
