Tar Heel Firsts: The first time a UNC football team was ranked

Posted Aug 2, 2020
In the second Associated Press Poll of the 1937 college football season, North Carolina came in at 15th out of 20 teams voted in. Not only was UNC ranked for the first time, they got to take part in an all-ranked matchup for the first time the next week, hosting No. 10 Fordham. The Tar Heels finished the 1937 season 7-1-1 and ranked No. 19 in the nation. (Tar Heel Blog)
