Despite cruising to a 48-21 blowout over then-No. 23 NC State on Saturday, the UNC football team fell one spot to No. 15 in the newest edition of the Associated Press Top 25 poll released on Sunday.

The Tar Heels are now 4-1 this season after the big rivalry win, with the lone loss coming on the road at Florida State on Oct. 17.

Michigan is the team that jumped UNC in the rankings–moving from No. 18 to No. 13–following a 49-24 blowout over then-No. 21 Minnesota. It was the season opener for both teams, as the Big Ten began its season over the weekend.

Clemson held on to the No. 1 spot in the rankings with a big win over Syracuse, while Alabama, Ohio State, Notre Dame and Georgia round out the top five.

The rest of the top 10 consists of: No. 6 Oklahoma State, No. 7 Cincinnati, No. 8 Texas A&M, No. 9 Wisconsin and No. 10 Florida.

Including Clemson, Notre Dame and UNC, the ACC has just four teams ranked this week–with No. 12 Miami also among the mix.
