Tinder, an online dating app, sorted the schools who are currently ranked in the AP and Coaches Top 25 football polls.  UNC landed at No. 10 on the list.

Carolina starts the football season at No. 22 in the AP Poll and No. 20 in the Coaches Poll.

But, according to Tinder usage, UNC is a top ten school.  The app compiled data by examining the profiles of users, who were given the ability to input their education information in November 2015.  Of course, this includes all students and some alums, not just student-athletes.
