Last week, the most respected and referenced college hoops rankings, KenPom.com, published its 2011-12 projections. The site has Boston College at No. 175, comfortably between the WAC's Idaho and the Big 12's Texas Tech. Pomeroy projects a 10-18 (4-12 ACC) season for the Eagles.

Look at the positives here. Umm ... Bryant must really suck? And, hey, we have an 11 percent chance of knocking off Duke at home! That said, the Eagles do have a 0.9 percent chance of going winless in the ACC. And may or may not lose their final 11 games in conference play. So there's that, too.
