Boston College: 3-0

Duke: 2-1

That is all

[Mike DiMauro @BCgenius]

No just a theoretical post. We’ve had probably a legit 8 teams from 84-08 who would have made it. Thats not great, but not terrible either

[FFS_AMERICA @MWMA_IND]

@BCgenius you think that the AP top 25(24) is going to get the NOD for the playoff bracket?

[Mike DiMauro @BCgenius]

Yes, very true. My point is that this gives us a better chance, not that it’s likely to happen

[beej @BCUBlakeJames]

You also have to factor in that BC has not won more than 7 games since 2009. Nor finished the season ranked since 2007.

[Mike DiMauro @BCgenius]

Much more of an opportunity though

[John Lynch @jjl_ice_yard]

@BCgenius But the last time was 2007, right?

Quite the drought.

And a trend that does not bode well for BC making the CFP.

I’d be amazed (and pleasantly surprised) if BC got 7 wins next year, much less 9.

[Mike DiMauro @BCgenius]

BC has finished the season ranked in the top 25 11 times since 1984. Theoretically, that’s 11 playoff teams in this format.

[Heights and Lows @BC_Heights_Lows]

Hear me out. An 9-3 BC team could make a 24 field playoff. This is our conference schedule next year (we get Cincy at home + Rutgers in Jers in addition to UTEP and URI). I’m not saying it’s going to happen, but it’s not impossible.

[Mike DiMauro @BCgenius]

Not breaking news

[Andrew Prince @AndrewPrince5]

I'm saying it right now...Jim Spanarkal (sp?) is one of the best CBB analysts around

[Mike DiMauro @BCgenius]

Do you need subtitles? PREGAME. I know you went to UConn, but Jesus, play along, will you?

We’d be better off with Charlie Jones the announcer

[Jordan Raanan @JordanRaanan]

Charlie Jones, playing with an injured thumb, muffed a punt. He had a cast on his right thumb throughout the week.

Jones misjudged the punt and tried to grab it on the run near the ground.

[Mike DiMauro @BCgenius]

The only thing missing from Sunday’s game: right after Arvell took out Milton, he should have run to the sideline to take out Jones, too

[BigBlueVCR @BigBlueVCR]

I don’t know who the last player I yelled “just go down” more at than Charlie Jones in many years

[Clem 🏆 @TheClemReport]

There are babies in this world that have never seen the Giants lose in Philadelphia

[Mike DiMauro @BCgenius]

Aren’t you just full of positivity

[Nicoletta Gacos @BossLadyNikkiG]

Just asking for a friend… 🙃

Isn’t it interesting how the Giants are desperately searching for EXACTLY what Joe Schoen gave away? Saquon Barkley and Dexter Lawrence.

Funny how the Eagles and Bengals became better teams with guys who were once OURS.

And YES, I’ll keep bringing it up until Joe Schoen is GONE. You don’t get to create holes in a roster, get paid millions, and then expect applause for trying to fill the SAME holes you created.

We HAD the talent. We just had a GM who couldn’t keep it.

Anyway, that concludes my weekly rant. See you next week… or until something actually CHANGES. 🙃 Go big blue 💙 #nygiants #giants #bigblue

[Mike DiMauro @BCgenius]

And what does that make your outfit?

[Kyle @Birdsfan1992]

The Giants are such a bad football team.

[Mike DiMauro @BCgenius]

Of living in South Bend? 😂😂

[JEREMY HAYES @JellystoneNP]

@BCgenius Imagine being so jealous you got publicly upset at kids for being happy 🤣🤣🤣

[Mike DiMauro @BCgenius]

As if you know more about that than O’Brien does.

[P.A.C. Delory @pacdelory]

@BCgenius How much money do halftime adjustments cost?

[Mike DiMauro @BCgenius]

Yes he was partly at fault. I’m looking bigger picture. We need better players.

[ForBlogston @ForBlogston]

@BCgenius why do you get like this? It was a bad game, and Bill is absolutely partly at fault?

This is the second crashout you’ve had over a game where Bill let the team down. It’s ok to think that they need more resources and that the coach fucked up.

[Mike DiMauro @BCgenius]

Money only gets you a roster, he says. Rosters win games, my friend.

[P.A.C. Delory @pacdelory]

@ForBlogston @BCgenius I don’t get the “BC needs more money” crowd. Money only gets you a roster. The roster was good enough to beat FSU yesterday. But they didn’t.

[Mike DiMauro @BCgenius]

Yeah that game drew 40,000. You do know this was pregame, no?

[Joe Tutino @JTutino]

I kid you not, there was a bigger crowd for Holy Cross-Georgetown today.

[Mike DiMauro @BCgenius]

Storm the field to beat a team without its best player? The most Notre Dame thing ever.

[NotKennyRogers @NotKennyRogers]

Lane Kiffin walks into a bar...to watch the College Football Playoffs.

GAMPEL family says UConn name change to pavilion is 'a despicable and disrespectful way to honor the legacy of our father'... https://t.co/2clCz553Eq
