Mack Brown On UNC's College Football Playoff Ranking: Congrats, But It Only Matters In The End

Posted Nov 2, 2022
The Tar Heels came in at No. 17 in the first College Football Playoff poll of the season Tuesday night. And Mack Brown sees that as a fairer representation of who UNC is as a team. It's far less subjective. "That one means more. It’s not an opinion," Brown said following practice Wednesday (Video). "It’s based on a lot of different things that are calculated."
