Boston College MAC Football Schedule-A-Team: Eastern Michigan Eagles
All-Time History With Boston College: None
Last Faced: Not applicable
Travel (if necessary): Slightly less than the travel time to Central Michigan.
Mutual Interest Factor: Obviously none.
Intrigue Factor: Ditto the above.
The Verdict: Might schedule for a one-off at Alumni Stadium if the situation were right for both programs.
Boston College has faced a fair number of MAC teams. Eastern Michigan, another school of Eagles, has not been one of them, and it would seem they are not going to be for some time.
Chances are that if they ever faced Boston College, it would be at Alumni.

Boston College MAC Football Schedule-A-Team: Kent State Golden Flashes
All-Time History With Boston College: 3 games (3-0-0)
Last Faced: 2010 (BC wins, 26-13)
Travel (if necessary): Similar travel time for Boston College as to Akron — less than two hours.
Mutual Interest Factor: Not in several years, but there has been some.
Intrigue Factor: It wasn’t intriguing for either team when it happened last time.
The Verdict: Would be inclined to prefer a one-off at home, but could be persuaded to schedule them away again if it is at Cleveland Browns Stadium.
There are a number of teams in this conference that are more suitable for single games to be scheduled every now and again. Kent State is definitely one of them.
