Top 10 Tar Heels face test against Hokies

Posted Oct 8, 2020
The last time the Tar Heels (2-0, 2-0 ACC) climbed higher than No. 8 in the rankings was in 1998. They rose to No. 7 after winning the Gator Bowl, their first game under Carl Torbush after Mack Brown announced he was leaving for Texas. The opponent that day was Virginia Tech, the same team that stands in UNC’s way of rising further in this year’s poll. (North State Journal)
