Voters noticing Carolina, but Heels still outside AP Top 25

17 voters put the Tar Heels on their ballots this week

Mack Brown didn't want to hear it in the locker room after North Carolina's 28-25 victory over Miami on Saturday night as the Tar Heels moved to 2-0.

"I heard some, ‘Oh, Top 25’ in the dressing room," Brown said. "I said, ‘Don’t go there brother, you just barely won this game.’"

At least some voters were willing to go there, as the Tar Heels received 48 points in the poll — good enough for fifth among teams receiving votes, or unofficially, No. 30.

Adam Zucker of CBS Sports Network placed Carolina the highest on his ballot at No. 19, while 16 others cast votes for the Tar Heels
