The Tar Heels were ranked the first eight weeks of the season, spending the first seven among the top 12, but a loss to Maryland dropped them to No. 18. A 26-10 victory over No. 8 Texas in the Sun Bowl on Christmas Day offered a glimpse of what could have been for Kelvin Bryant, Ethan Horton, and company had UNC been a tad better earlier in the season.
