Mack Brown, No. 5 UNC aim to maintain highest ranking in 23 years

Posted Oct 14, 2020
It took Mack Brown less than two years to lead UNC Football to its highest ranking in more than two decades. Now the fifth-ranked Tar Heels will try to maintain that perch alongside tradition-rich programs atop the AP Top 25 poll. And he knows that won’t be easy. Before this season, the Tar Heels had cracked the top 10 once since Brown’s departure. (Associated Press)
