Unless UNC makes a significant late addition, national expectations for the 2025-26 season remain modest.
The Tar Heels might not even be projected to finish in the top three of the ACC.
On Tuesday, Rob Dauster of The Field of 68 excluded UNC from his preseason top 25 — the latest in a trend of subdued outlooks for the program. His list featured just three ACC teams: Louisville at No. 5, Duke at No. 8, and NC State at No. 25.
