Boston College MAC Football Schedule-A-Team: Buffalo Bulls
All-Time History With Boston College: 8 games (6-2-0)
Last Faced: 2006 (BC wins, 41-0)
Travel (if necessary): Maybe a little over an hour by plane; definitely not bussing this, especially if the NY Thruway is buried in 29 feet of snow.
Mutual Interest Factor: Confirmed. Boston College is playing the Bulls in 2016.
Intrigue Factor: The grilled shrimp I just saw on TV was more intriguing.
The Verdict: Would schedule one-offs beside this game.
All eight games have been home games, so it stands to reason that if Buffalo ever came back into the picture, the game would be in Boston. The site of the 2016 game, however, is officially to be determined.
While one could imagine the game will be in Boston, remember, we played New Mexico State in their building, Aggievision and all. You never know.

Boston College MAC Football Schedule-A-Team: Central Michigan Chippewas
All-Time History With Boston College: 3 games (3-0-0)
Last Faced: 2009 (BC wins, 31-10)
Travel (if necessary): Probably inside of two hours to get to Mount Pleasant, MI.
Mutual Interest Factor: Not in at least five years.
Intrigue Factor: Not really.
The Verdict: Might again schedule for a one-off in the future.
There’s no harm in playing a team like the Chippewas if you do it once in a while. This is not a trip that Boston College would feel they have to make, though perhaps if they felt so compelled they could schedule a game out there. If it happens again, though, it is far more likely to take place at Alumni Stadium than in Central Michigan’s building.
