Boston College Sun Belt Football Schedule-A-Team: Texas State Bobcats
All-Time History With Boston College: None
Last Faced: Not applicable
Travel (if necessary): Boston College would have to fly to Austin or San Antonio and take a bus to San Marcos — going to be at least four hours or more of total travel time.
Mutual Interest Factor: Not particularly possible.
Intrigue Factor: They have not even been in FBS for five years; does that answer your question?
The Verdict: Would not go out of my way to schedule.
Texas State is going to play Florida State next season, and with Jameis gone they might get within a few touchdowns. We, however, are too far away and not worth the effort for them. And vice versa.

Boston College Sun Belt Football Schedule-A-Team: Troy Trojans
All-Time History With Boston College: None
Last Faced: Not applicable
Travel (if necessary): Difficult in that the Eagles would have to fly to either Montgomery, AL or Columbus, GA and bus it for an hour or more.
Mutual Interest Factor: None yet.
Intrigue Factor: Troy has some recent history as a program but little intrigue.
The Verdict: Would not go out of my way to schedule.
They are located in Alabama. If they are going to get some television time and take a beating, there are several Power 5 teams within their very own state willing to schedule them.
