It's official: Boston College is going bowling!

The 41-21 win against North Carolina gave the Eagles their sixth win of the season and made them bowl eligible. Boston College added to its resume by also defeating Pitt to to close the regualr season, 34-23. The Eagles improved to 7-5 overall, 4-4 in Atlantic Coast Conference play.

As for their destination that's anyone's guess. With conference championships still to be played, there's still a variety of possibilities. Chances are, though, it won't result in a return to the Fenway Bowl, where Boston College defeated SMU last year, 23-14, as bowls and leagues usually try and avoid repeat visits.

The two major factors that will directly impact the ACC pairings are how many league teams make the College Football Playoff. The bowl pecking order is heavily based on the final league standings.
