The WRAL Sports staff--across the TV, radio and digital divisions--votes on the 14 Division One College football programs in North Carolina to come up with the top ten. This vote is based on how well we believe each program would do in their respective level and not based on who we believe would win head-to-head. That is why some FCS programs rank higher than some FBS programs. We will update these rankings every Monday in the regular season.
