New Poll: Boston College Football Ranked 24th in the Country

On Sunday afternoon, the latest college football AP poll was released for the country’s top-25 teams, and Boston College found itself ranked #24 in the country.

This comes off of the heels of a great 2-0 start for the Eagles, who went down to Tallahassee to defeat Florida State in Week 1, and then took care of business this past weekend in a 56-0 home win over Duquesne. New head coach Bill O’Brien has certainly raised the bar for Boston College already, as they are playing with a lot more discipline and are dominating in the trenches. They are certainly going to be competitive in the ACC this season against a schedule that has a lot of “coin-flip” games.

Up next on BC’s slate, though, is a match-up with #6 Mizzou. Things certainly won’t be as easy for BC next weekend as they were against Duquesne or even FSU. They’ll be going into a hostile environment and taking on a top-10 team, and this time one that actually deserves their ranking. Mizzou has an electric offense that could seriously threaten to blow open the Boston College secondary, which is fairly thin and has a number of new starters this season. But the BC offense led by Thomas Castellanos has the capability to dominate on the ground and could slow down the pace of the game to seriously threaten to pull off another upset.
