Tar Heels Drop like a Rock
North Carolina was ranked #8 in the country last week but after losses to Minnesota and Vanderbilt in sportsbetting they almost fell out of the rankings entirely as they dropped all the way down to #25. Minnesota got into the rankings for the first time this season at #17 while San Diego State is also a newcomer at #22. Virginia Tech and Wisconsin both fell out of the rankings this week but both are quality teams who could easily be back into the top 25 in upcoming weeks.
