UNC Football: Tar Heels fall out of Top 25 after loss

Posted Dec 1, 2020
The North Carolina Football program’s return to the Associated Press Top 25 poll has been short lived, lasting just one week. After Mack Brown’s Tar Heels jumped back into the rankings last Sunday despite having a bye week, they are now back on the outside looking in. Carolina dropped their game last Friday in Chapel Hill to No. 2 Notre Dame, 31-17. (Keeping It Heel)
