Five To Go

The college football bowl game season is getting closer. We will face the absurdity of 80 teams playing in 40 different games. Some of them will be classic. Others will make us realize that they only exist because of the money involved. Too many teams with six losses end up qualifying.

Boston College at 5-6 could still get a bid even if they lose to Wake Forest on Saturday. The NCAA knows that it can be a challenge to fill the schedule. They allow for a team like BC to play if their Academic Progress Score (APR) is exceptionally high.

The excellent graduation rate of BC players could get them a game in spite of  a losing record.
