Boston College Football Gearing Up For Another Top 25: The Rundown

One season ago, Boston College football set sail on the 2024 season full of optimism, with former NFL skipper Bill O'Brien at the helm.

Fast foward to the end of the season and a brief stint inside the Top 25 rankings, and now O'Brien and company are gearing up to make another run at it.

We've discussed at length the opportunities that Boston College has early on in the season, but to reiterate, there's a real chance that BC winds up hosting Clemson in a top 25 matchup of undefeated teams.

If that's the case, it would be by far the biggest game of the O'Brien era at Boston College to date, and serve as an opportunity to make a high-powered statement on the national stage.

After that, the schedule beefs up during conference play, but there's a real chance for BC to make an impact early in the schedule and build momentum going into the midseason mark.

We've almost made it, Eagles.

Just one more day until we're full swing into football mode.

However, it feels good to fill in our daily schedule again.
