UNC is in the top 20 of men's basketball rankings no matter what. They can lose several games straight and still be in top 20 while if other teams lose 1 game they drop from the top 25 entirely. What explains this irrationality?

muh tar heels

Because they're losing to good teams? Instead of looking at their records at face value, check their RPI rankings. They're ranked 11 in standard polls, but ranked 2 in RPI. Their strength of schedule ranks 5th in the country and their two losses were to teams ranked in the RBI 100.
If they had lost to two shitty teams, they would be a lot lower.

In NC, I feel like at least 90% of UNC fans are those that never went to UNC or have any association to it. They are Walmart fans, this sort of massive bandwagoning eclipses the popularity of NC State and Duke in the state

Not just at ESPN, but in all sports media.
UNC-CHeat grads are to sports what jews are to banking
Just because nobody cares that your shitty meme community college isn't getting ranked doesn't mean you have to get salty about the school representing the 2016 Sports State of the Year

Dude what the fuck are you doing?
Who cares everybody gets into the tournament anyway. If they sucks they will lose in the tournament.
UNC death penalty when?
>>64293151
Never tbqh. It was a fraud by the academic community utilized by more non-athletes than the athletes themselves. If you want to give UNC a death penalty you should shut down the whole university, but that'll never happen kekeke
>>64293151
Never. Doesn't matter if it's the biggest academic scandal in the history of academic scandals, it's a victimless crime. Public will never become outraged by it. NCAA will never have any motivation to take action.
By all accounts, UNC shouldn't be allowed to have an athletic department anymore. But nothing will ever happen.
