Rounding out the top five in front of the Tar Heels are No. 3 Vanderbilt, No. 4 UCLA and No. 5 Texas Tech.

The rest of the top 10 includes: UNC, No. 7 Stanford, No. 8 Louisville, No. 9 Florida and No. 10 Ole Miss.

In addition to UNC and Louisville, the ACC is also represented by No. 14 Florida State, No. 21 NC State and No. 24 Clemson.
