Athlon Sports views the UNC Football program is a top 10 team heading into the 2021 regular season. Where do they currently sit in the most recent rankings?

Over the last two seasons, the UNC football program has made significant strides in regards to getting back on track, thanks in large part to the return of legendary head coach Mack Brown.

The Tar Heels are coming off an impressive 2020 season in which they qualified for a New Year’s Six Bowl game.
