Last year, North Carolina started the season as the top-ranked team in college basketball. They're at it again for 2008-09 but this time it's unanimous.
Both the ESPN/Coaches and Associated Press polls have UNC atop their rankings gathering all possible number one votes.
With the Heels returning all five starters of their 2008 Final Four team plus three McDonald's All-American freshmen additions, it's dumb not to pick them as the preseason favorites. They will, however, be in for a bumpy start as they will be missing senior starters Marcus Ginyard and All-American Tyler Hansbrough, who by the way, is the reigning national player of the year.
North Carolina opens its season at home against Pennsylvania this weekend.
