Weekly Kickoff: Bill O’Brien already has Boston College in the top-25 conversation

Are you feeling it yet? The excitement in the air? Boston College football upset Florida State in Tallahassee on Monday night, their first win down there since 2008, and it has BC fans abuzz with excitement for this new era. Bill O’Brien, after taking over the program late in the 2024 coaching cycle, has already revitalized a fanbase and a team that was stuck in the muddy middle of the road with little optimism for improvement. He already has a bigger signature win than his predecessor, just one game into his tenure.

The newest top-25 AP poll came out on Tuesday, and it has Boston College receiving the 27th-most votes in the country, just two slots out of being ranked.
