NCAA Mulls Increasing Bowl Eligibility Requirement To Seven Wins In 2014
While college football's postseason format set to change, could changes also be coming to the current bowl system? Multiple sources have told CBSSports.com that there is "growing support" among conference commissioners, ADs and bowl officials to increase the difficulty of becoming bowl...
Football Teams Better Than Boston College, According To Jeff Sagarin
Yesterday I stumbled upon this depressing post over at the Northwestern blog Sippin' On Purple. Northwestern ranks 110th in the latest Jeff Sagarin rankings. But since NU beat BC in the season-opener, and the Eagles have a worst record than the 'Cats, the Eagles are even further down in the latest...
I'd Love To See The Globe Put A Positive Spin On This
Through two and a half seasons, Spaz's record as a head coach is now at an even 16-16 (not counting the interim HC win over Navy).

Karmic Course Corrections And Boston College Football Non-Conference Results 2000-2011
For as long as I've been an Eagles fan, the Boston College football program has dominated non-conference play. Since 2000, BC has gone 47-10 (.825) in non-conference games -- including bowl games -- and hadn't lost more than one non-conference game a season from 2000-2008. In fact, in four of those...
Should ACC Football Move To A Nine Game Conference Schedule?
This week, the Big Ten announced that the conference would be moving to a nine-game conference schedule in football starting in 2017. I have been a big advocate of the ACC making a similar move once the current conference schedule runs its course after the 2015 season. Here's what I wrote about a...
Montel Harris Might Break The ACC's All-Time Rushing Record, But Should He Own The Record?
The N.C. State blog Riddick & Reynolds posed an interesting question yesterday: If BC's Montel Harris rushes for 1,003 yards or more this season and breaks Ted Brown's ACC career rushing record of 4,602, should Harris be considered the ACC's all-time great rusher? This normally might sound like...
