The UNC Football program’s stay in the Top 10 of the Associated Press Top 25 poll was a short one.

After being ranked No. 10 in the preseason poll in August, UNC has fallen 14 spots to No. 24 in the Week 2 poll. That’s thanks to a 17-10 loss at Virginia Tech on Friday night a game that was close but one that also saw UNC struggle on offense throughout.
