70stang 13 UNC sits at the top of Tier 4, which is comprised of teams with 1 loss, multiple wins over P5 competition, and no ranked wins.
UNC has 5 P5 wins, 1 G5 win, and 1 P5 unranked loss to be 6-1.
They sit above the other teams in this tier due to having played one more P5 team, and having played no FCS opponents.

FlashSpider-man 14 Wow. A stunner. The definition of a trap game. Playing at home against a really bad UVA team, getting shocked. Ultimately, they've played well all season for the other games. They deserve to be in the upper grouping of 1 loss teams. They drop to 14 probably just due to how fresh this is. How does ACC championship work? As long as they can make it and face FSU, season is far from over.

_TGT7 20 -10, Horrible loss to Virginia, in a game I believed the spread was free money, and where I believed Virginia was the worst Power 5 fbs team and would go 0-12, only possibility I can think of is that North Carolina completely overlooked Virginia, Drake Maye wasn’t perfect, but he wasn’t awful outside of the final drive, and even a bad performance by him should still be a three or four possession win
Arvandu 20 Drake Maye puts up 347 yards and they still can't beat Virginia(-11)

Reasoning: I begrudgingly had this team in my top 10 last week, like most people. I did think this team would not finish second in the ACC, but did not expect a loss to UVA.
