NC football rankings

[bigdaddyg]

Heard a little blurb on the David Glenn show. Voters ranking the top North Carolina football teams. App getting some "votes". Where would most of you guys rank the top teams? We ahead of Duke, Wake, State and ECU? I realize it will be painful as hell to put us behind the Holes.

I think we could hold our own against all of them, but I don't think we beat Unc, State or ECU.

[S.Lewis15]

I'd rank it:
ECU
UNC
NC State

App
Wake
Duke

Charlotte

[AppinVA]

CHeat
ECU
NC State/App
Wake
Duke




Charlotte

[EastHallApp]

Little early to tell still. Before Saturday I thought we might actually be closing the gap on Carolina. If I had to say now, I'd go:

UNC

State/App
ECU (yes I know they beat State by 3 at home)
Wake
Duke



Charlotte
Western Carolina

[bigdaddyg]

I think we are definitely top 4. Heels have some weapons but struggle against the run. State and ECU would be good matchups. This might be an interesting mythical poll to watch

[BUTCH1991]

A&T needs to be ahead of Charlotte & WCU

[MAD Doctor]

UNC-CHeat
App/ECU
NCSU
Duke/Wake


A&T





WCU/Elon/GWU/Campbell/Wingate/Mars Hill/LRU/Catawba/Fayetnam State

(UNCC does not have football yet )

WCU lost to ETSU last week. LOL!!!

[hapapp]

Perhaps this is blasphemy, but since we no longer play them or share a conference with them I usually pull for them these days. And, their staff has a significant App connection.

Intent of this thread wasn't meant to bash another program but most threads go way off the rails anyway.

ECU has the best football program followed by App State. But in terms of ranking UNC followed by ECU. I'll put us as third. I think we can beat State, Duke, and Wake.

Agree. We have definitely played the toughest schedule thus far. We can make a case for third.

[HeffnerIV]

Can any of these programs point to anything that they've done to distinguish themselves above another, including us? The best thing us FBS guys in NC have to brag about are close losses to SEC powers (UGA and Tenn) and I'm not sure how good either of those teams will be this year.

[JTApps1]

I'd say the 6 FBS teams (UNCC hasn't done anything to qualify them as FBS) are all pretty much even right now.

[boonetown1]

ECU has significantly better marketing and fan engagement in their program. They seem to do things more for where they want to be (scheduling, renovations, conference push, etc.) than where they are.

The others are just P5 and can push that, but don't usually do anything special.

[NattyBumppo'sRevenge]

Too early to tell, but I don't think any are top 25 caliber teams. Unfortunately, I think UNC is the only one that might end up in the top 25 come the end of the season. We could, but we pretty much have to win out and win our bowl game. ECU's season is almost over with conference play getting ready to start, so expect them to go .500 the rest of the way. NC State might win only 4 more games this year, they still have Clemson, Louisville, Florida State, MIAMI, and unc on their schedule. Wake and Duke both aren't good.

For what it's worth I heard that UNC Pembroke- D2 is undefeated. That's a pretty good listing. We should keep this going
