Projected seed: 6
North Carolina’s résumé is built on a neutral-site statement win over Kansas and a rugged road victory at Kentucky that show the program can deliver in big environments, and a neutral win over Ohio State alongside a neutral loss to Michigan State confirms the team can compete on major stages. Those highs are tempered by damaging road defeats at SMU and on the West Coast at Stanford and California that expose inconsistency away from Chapel Hill, and the upcoming stretch — a trip to Virginia, high-profile home dates with Duke and Louisville, road tests at NC State and Duke and matchups with Syracuse — is the clearest chance to convert those signature wins into an unquestionable resume or to let the road blemishes dictate the narrative.
