A new week and a new number one. Last season, the preseason top ranked team finished the season at the bottom. That was Georgia Tech. Here is hoping that UNC responds more like they did last season with an 11 game win streak.

Carolina could easily reclaim the number one spot with a win over Illinois and a Miami loss. Though looking at Miami’s opponent, the Canes should be 2-0 after this week. Will a 1-1 record against the Power 5 be more impressive than 2-0 against the Sunshine State? We will see. None of that has happened yet. As I said before that’s why they play the games. If the season is anything like week one, anything is possible.

What did you think of this week’s rankings? Let us know in the comments below.
