The North Carolina Tar Heels are 2-0 to start the 2022 college football season following a thrilling 63-61 win over Appalachian State on Saturday. Going into this weekend’s Georgia State game, the Tar Heels are unbeaten and have a chance to be 3-0 before their showdown with Notre Dame.

Tennessee 143; Penn State 138; Houston 137; Cincinnati 61; Iowa 44; Mississippi State 34; Florida State 33; Central Florida 23; Fresno State 21; Air Force 18; Auburn 15; Texas Christian 7; UCLA 6; South Carolina 6; Utah State 5; Minnesota 5; Syracuse 4; Oregon State 3; UL Lafayette 1; Texas Tech 1; Northwestern 1; North Carolina 1.
