NC State is 1 of 22 Teams to Finish in the Top-25 of the CFP Rankings Since 2014
Since the College Football Playoff era began in 2014, NC State has finished ranked in the Final College Football Playoff Top-25 five times.

Even more impressive? The Wolfpack has done its best work recently, finishing in the Top-25 four times in the past six seasons.
