UNC rank 22nd in the Associated Press preseason top 25

The Associated Press released their preseason top 25 teams in preparation for the start of the 2016 season in just two weeks. The Tar Heels rank 22nd on the list, their highest spot on the preseason since 2010 when they were considered the 18th-best team in the nation. The poll has UNC as the fourth-best team in the ACC behind Clemson at No. 2 overall, Florida State at No. 4 overall, and Louisville at 19th overall.

This is a program that is going in the right direction. After a season in which they were not ranked to begin the year, Larry Fedora managed to put together a squad that won 11 games and appeared in the ACC Championship.
