Week 11 Amway Coaches Poll: North Carolina Tar Heels #17
The Amway Coaches Poll for Week 11 witnessed a large amount of chaos after a number of undefeated teams fell over the weekend. Those teams included Memphis, Michigan State, TCU, and LSU.
In the local scene, the North Carolina Tar Heels rose four spots to number seventeen in this and in the Associated Press Poll. The Tar Heels have now entered the consciousness of college football folks at least as the team that Clemson may dismantle in the ACC Championship. Others are now referring to the Heels as a dark horse team to make the playoff.
The road to the playoff is difficult for the Heels. They have three games left against teams that will not be considered as resume builders unless State beats Florida State this weekend. That loss to South Carolina just hangs around at this point.
The American Athletic Conference neighbors of East Carolina are still hanging out in the bottom half of the poll. Memphis hung around at 25 and now Navy is in the poll. Houston is all the way at 16. Temple is also still ranked.
The others receiving votes still include the Appalachian State Mountaineers in the Coaches Poll. Their recent conquerors, Arkansas State, are not included in the poll.
