In 2006, college football looked and felt very different when it came to Boston College.
The Eagles were in their second year in the ACC, but the "strength in numbers" that came from plundering the Big East wasn't doing much. The highest ranked team in the preseason was #11 Florida State, and only Miami, Virginia Tech, and Clemson joined them in the Top 25. By the second week of the year, Clemson was out, with Miami joining them a week later. Florida State and Virginia Tech would be gone by Week 7.
But in the second week of the season, there was no way to know it.
