The Boston College Eagles first season in the ACC has to be considered a positive even though the bowl committee sent them out east to play on the "Smurf Turf". Head coach Tom O'Brien's team went on to win nine games, and beat Boise State on the road which says a lot. The sixth strait bowl win gives Boston College the longest streak in the NCAA. This year's team returns 12 starters, six offense, six defense.

Quarterback Matt Ryan is back to lead the offense after tossing for 1,514 yards and eight TDs in only five starts. Though the wide receivers are deep and talented they did lose one of their best deep threats. The ground game packs a punch with the solid duo of Andre Callender and LV Whitworth. The offensive line could be a fault where a pair of All ACC players will have to be replaced. Heach coach O'Brien always fields a solid offensive line, but it looks like this year's might need a bit more time to develop and the offense will suffer because of it.

Quarterback Ryan must start every game, the revamped offensive line must gel quickly, and BC's defense must fill the holes in its front seven for the Eagles to keep pace in the division. If they do, Boston College Eagles will go bowling again, and have a shot at extending its streak. Head coach O'Brien needs three more wins to become the Eagles all time winningest coach. He should achieve that in the first 6 games.
