You heard me right.
The 2024 Boston College Eagles football team, the same program that just got their first top-25 ranking in 6 years (and lost it this weekend), could actually realistically make the College Football Playoff. Now that the CFP is expanded to 12 teams and the ACC Champion is basically guaranteed a spot, we can start to take a harder look at what it would actually take for the Eagles to get there.
First off, the team looks way better than a lot fans expected. Part of that early season success has been the lack of quality of their competition, to be fair, as the top-10 win over Florida State in Week 1 no longer holds much gravitas.
