With one conference win over Wake and one conference loss to Florida State, the Eagles are currently sitting at third in their division. Their chances of winning the division, however, are essentially nil. BC would likely have to win the rest of their conference games (0.3% chance), including against Clemson at Clemson this week, and even then would need Florida State to suffer two conference losses.

It doesn't help that, except for lowly New Mexico State, the easy games are behind them. Boston College faces a glut of road games and a host of superior conference opponents, including Clemson, Virginia Tech, Syracuse, and Maryland. Expect BC to win against New Mexico State and North Carolina State and to manage a road win against either Maryland or UNC to eke out bowl eligibility.
Expected Wins: 5.7
