Well, the preseason is over.
After three weeks of offering a huge caveat on all observations about BC football, good or bad, the Eagles now head in to an honest-to-goodness measuring stick game.
How much of a measuring stick?
Vegas had this game opening as a pick ‘em, though now it appears to have settled on Missouri as a two-point favorite. BC and Missouri are #45 and #48, respectively, in the Sagarin rankings.
Boston College and Missouri is about as evenly matched a game as you could have hoped for heading in to the ACC season - two teams sometimes overlooked among the bigger names in their conference, but looking to carve out a good season for themselves.
