Fun to see the Tar Heels in the CFP rankings at No. 23...Success won't derail Carolina's focus...Could the Tar Heels be the ACC's second-best team?...A letter from Bubba Cunningham encouraging fans to turn out this weekend...National honors for Marquise Williams...The talk of a Coastal title is getting serious...Pleasant role reversal from what usually happens: Marquise Williams was a Miami fan growing up, but the Canes passed on him...Good stat on the Tar Heel defense:
Only 3 players in the country have 10+ pass break-ups vs. P5 foes this year. Two play for #UNC: Des Lawrence & MJ Stewart.
