With the college football season rapidly approaching, we got to wondering: What is the best team from each state of our union?

Specifically, this is not a list of the programs that have had the most all-time success in each state, but rather a look at what teams we believe are playing the best right now.

CBS Sports college football writers Robby Kalland and Chip Patterson worked together, evaluating Division I programs from the FBS and FCS divisions, to cover 48 of 50 states. Alaska and Vermont were the only two states without a college football program at either of those levels -- Alaska doesn't have one at any level -- but all others have at least one FBS or FCS football program. Some, of course, were more difficult than others to decide.

With that said, let's take a look at the best team from each state.

North Carolina: North Carolina -- Coming off a school-record 11 wins with an offense that averaged more than 40 points per game, the Tar Heels have asserted themselves as the team to beat in the state.
