The University of North Carolina (UNC) basketball team has dropped out of early rankings for the 2026-27 season. Jeff Borzello's latest Top 25 rankings do not include the Tar Heels, despite their efforts to boost their roster through the transfer portal. UNC recently hired former NBA coach Michael Malone, who has already made several commitments to strengthen the team's depth. Four Atlantic Coast Conference teams are ranked in the Top 25: Duke at No. 2, Louisville at No. 15, Virginia at No. 17, and Miami at No. 21. The Tar Heels' absence from the rankings is likely due to the uncertainty surrounding the team's coaching change and roster flux.
