LSU (1-1) at South Carolina (2-0 but un-ranked)...seems a bit curious, no???
Do you think Mizzou (2-0, ranked #6) vs. Boston College (2-0, ranked #24) was even in consideration?
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College football returned to the Associated Press Top 25 with the No. 24 ranking on Sunday. The Eagles are 2-0 with wins over No. 10 Florida State on the road and a home shutout of Duquesne in the Alumni Stadium debut of first-year head coach
