After every loss the Eagles sustain this season, that we are expected to make a bowl at all seems like somewhat of a relief. With only two more wins required over the final five games of the year in order to become eligible, it is still likely.

Patrick Stevens again has Boston College in the Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit, which would take place the day after Christmas.

In a side note, in Phil Steele’s still outdated bowl projections from last week, he put Boston College in the Military Bowl in Annapolis on December 27 against Cincinnati.
