Batten: Early conclusions about 2011 ACC football season

Posted Oct 14, 2011
Sophomore cornerback Jabari Price thinks UNC should be ranked based on its 5-1 start. Nice try Jabari. Yes, the Tar Heels are a good team - better than their fans had a right to hope for after the coach was fired before the start of preseason practice and with the NCAA still breathing down their necks. But you've still got to beat somebody besides Rutgers and Louisville to get into my top-25 rankings. (Fayetteville Observer)
