Everything instinct says to drop UNC out of the rankings until you really look at it. Yes, they have five losses, that is bad, the most of any ranked team. Providence only has one loss. The reason that UNC stays in is because they have a great win at Denver. They have also only surrendered games vs teams ranked ahead of them. The other teams that may try to take UNC's spot have multiple losses to unranked teams or they lack big wins like Providence.

This is also where I have to add the tie breaker question: in a head-to-head battle, who would win? Providence or UNC.... I think 90% of people would pick UNC.

Virginia, Syracuse, and Notre Dame are the three remaining games before the ACC Tournament. If UNC wins these games, things will get really interesting. If UNC proved anything last year, it's never count them out. Once they get rolling they are a force!
