As expected, the UNC Football program has dropped in the latest AP Top 25 poll that was released on Sunday afternoon

Saturday night was a wake up call for the UNC Football program after they came out sluggish in the loss to Florida State in Tallahassee. In their first game as the No. 5 team in the nation, the Tar Heels fell behind early and their rally fell short as they fell to 3-1 on the year.

With the loss, UNC also saw that No. 5 ranking go away.

The Tar Heels fell 9 spots in the latest Associated Press Top 25 poll, falling all the way to No. 14 on the year. The good news is that UNC is still a Top 15 team and has the chance to move up again this season but really needs to avoid another loss. The bad news is that their Top 5 ranking has only lasted for a week.

Clemson remained atop the poll after a big win over Georgia Tech and Alabama moved up to No. 2 while Notre Dame climbed to No. 3. Rounding out the Top 10 are: Georgia (No. 4), Ohio State (No. 5), Oklahoma State (No. 6), Texas A&M (No. 7), Penn State (No. 8), Cincinnati (No. 9) and Florida (No. 1).
