We are finally here. Selection Sunday.
The question on everyone's mind is whether Boston College is in or out at this point. In all likelihood, we are out -- done in by a lopsided ACC Quarterfinals loss to Clemson, and weekend wins by Penn State, Richmond and Virginia Tech:
The Dagger's Jeff Eisenberg explains:
"The Eagles one-sided quarterfinal loss to fellow at-large hopeful Clemson on Friday afternoon will probably be the result that keeps them from making the field of 68. A 9-7 ACC record is nothing to get excited about this season, and a victory over Texas A&M is the only standout non-conference win on Boston College's resume."
In one day, out the next. Such is life on the bubble.
Two of the below brackets have BC sneaking in as a 12 seed, so I suppose there's still an outside chance. But I wouldn't count on it. Buckle up, because it's going to be an uncomfortable Sunday.
