The preseason college basketball rankings are out, and UNC is in the top 10.

The Tar Heels are No. 6 in the USA Today coaches’ poll, released on Thursday. That’s the 40th time UNC has been ranked in the preseason top 10 – and if you’re wondering, the Tar Heels finished the season in the top 10 in 31 of those previous 39 years.

The USA Today coaches’ poll began 1950; this is the 65th year of the poll. Of those 65 years, Carolina has been ranked somewhere in the top twenty-five 61 times and somewhere in the top ten 52 times.

The ACC is well-represented as a whole, with four teams in this year’s preseason top 10: Duke is No. 3, Carolina is No. 6, Virginia is No. 8, and Louisville is No. 9.

As per usual, this year’s preseason No. 1 is Kentucky. UNC will face the Wildcats on Saturday, December 13.
