Boston College Bowl Projections: Post Week 11
Boston College is now 5-4, and a bowl game is all but a certainty for the Eagles. But where could the Eagles land in December or January? Let's look at where various media outlets have Jeff Hafley's squad heading.
Kyle Bonagura- Pinstripe Bowl vs. Purdue
Mark Schlabach- Pinstripe Bowl vs. Maryland
Analysis: Not the biggest fan of watching the Eagles play in the frozen tundra, where they are 0-2 in recent bowl matchups. Last time they were there the turf was so bad, AJ Dillon looked like he was on ice skates. However, would be nice to see BC play Rondale Moore one of the best WRs in the country and give Jeff Hafley the opportunity to defeat a team that beat the Eagles two years ago. Maryland? The last team the Eagles have beaten in a bowl game (Quick Lane, 2016)
Sun Bowl vs. Utah
Analysis: A bowl game that has eluded Boston College, but one that has been pretty attractive in term's of relative prestige and solid opponent. Utah has been a perennial Top 25 team, and this would be a great way to end the season.
Military Bowl vs. Navy
Analysis: Playing against a service academy is always a positive and a good tough experience. But going to Maryland in December is not necessarily the most attractive location for the Eagles .
Pinstripe Bowl vs. Maryland
Analysis: Already have discussed my disdain for the location, but also not a big fan of the opponent. BC has a long history with Maryland, and none of it is all that exciting. This would certainly be a bowl game that would not get the fan base all that excited.
Sun Bowl vs. Utah
As mentioned above this would be a find spot for the Eagles to end up.
