RE: NC State, Duke in AP preseason Top 10

you guys are pretty pathetic pointing out grammar mistakes in these comments.we're on an Internet forum, will using correct grammar or pointing out other people's mistakes actually mean the different between a unc education and a state education? Because I'm pretty sure that the ones who correctly used their education at either of the two schools are in medical school or something better than commenting on this article with correct grammar... Anyway. Concerning which school is harder to get into, it's definitely UNC. At my high school, we all use state as our "safe school" in case we don't get into unc, duke, harvard, etc. (yes, our school is a magnet school and we have quite a few go to Harvard and Yale. Majority go to UNC, unless they are interested in engineering and then they go to state. Honestly, at any school where football and basketball are very important, student athletes are going to get by on some things that normal students would not. It just depends on which schools get caught. And no, they're not going to be the brightest. Any student athlete applying to these schools who has a 3.0 GPA would be considered a genius. Meanwhile, non student athletes applying to UNC would need at least a 4.5 weighted to be considered getting into UNC(3.3 for nc state). So overall, student athletes aside, UNC is a better education overall.

Last time I heard that excuse, UNC was losing to Dayton in the NIT and UNC fans were saying Butch didn't know. This will be another year for the ages.

isnt duke always overrated at the beggining of the season? duke is not a top 10 team they might be top 15 or 20 but they are certainly not top 10 nc state on the other hand might be 10 i still think carolina is going to be better than duke this year and i think right now that nc state might be the best team in the acc my preseason rankings in the acc goes nc state, unc, then duke! get over it devil fans your no longer the top teir in the acc lolzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nc state barely made it into the tournament last year, remember they were the last team picked... they had an average season... and that was with these same players so explian to me what made them better beacuse they made a run in the ncaa tournament we've seen teams makes runs before that doesen't always carry over to the next year.

Another top notch UNC education? What was State seeded last year? Why, I do not believe that they were a 16th seed. You know, common sense tells you that the play in games are the last teams in, followed by the 16 seeds, the 15 seeds, and so on. But hey, thats just common sense. No where does being the last team announced mean you are the last team in. They were in before all the seeds ranked above them, by hey, again, just common sense. Hum, what would make a team returning 4 starters from a sweet 16 team, returning a redshirt 7 footer, and gaining one of the best recruiting classes in the country, what in the world would make anybody think they might be good. Oh I know, common sense.

As a journalism/editing student, I found an error in the first sentence of this article. Anyone notice it says "Two Tobacco Road teams in the PRESEASON AP TOP 25, but don't wear blue." Actually, UNC is No. 11 according to the poll (which the article states later) so if they want this to be correct, it should say "AP PRESEASON TOP 10"

You really aren't doing much to help the hits UNC has taken lately on their academic reputation. It says "Two Tobacco Roads teams in the Associated Press preseason top 25, but, for a change, two are not wearing blue" Is this really the kind of education you are getting at UNC? If so, you might want to think about transfering to another school or paying attention in class one.
