Being originally from Tennessee I have to ask... Has a North Carolina team ever been number one in the nation in football? I feel like the Chris leak years at Independence would have put them number one.
No!! Top 25 or 50, yesBeing originally from Tennessee I have to ask... Has a North Carolina team ever been number one in the nation in football? I feel like the Chris leak years at Independence would have put them number one.
Richmond County was number 2 in I think around98/99...I want to say that Richmond finished #2 one year? Could be wrong.

With Lemay there is more hype so more potential in the rankings but I did not find a huge dropoff between Lemay and Ferguson once Riley figured it out in the Richmond game. Lemay's receiving corp in 2009 was impressive.Depending on the poll Butler was 3rd in 2009 and top 5 in 2012. I am a fan of the 2010 Butler team and they finished top 10-15 in most polls. Keep in mind QB Lemay would have been the starter on that team prior to him leaving the team.
