14. Boston College Eagles (3-3) (0-3 in the ACC)

The Eagles are not getting the results that they were looking for in the ACC after they made Kentucky-transfer Patrick Towles the starting quarterback to start the 2016 season. Most recently, they got hammered by the Clemson Tigers 56-10. Other than a first quarter special-teams fumble, I’m not sure that the Eagles ever had momentum in a home game against the Tigers last weekend.

If they play well, they have an opportunity to make a bowl game this season. However, that is going to take at least one upset for the Eagles to achieve that feat.

Here are the teams that they have left to face in 2016:

  • Syracuse
  • at NC State
  • Louisville
  • at Florida State
  • UCONN
  • at Wake Forest

They could beat Syracuse and UCONN, but would have to play great games to beat any of their other four opponents in 2016. Defensively they can be strong, but unfortunately their offense can struggle if everything is not going there way. Boston College is easily the ACC’s worst right now.
