Trying to come up with an angle for this ‘weekly kickoff’ column wasn’t easy. We are heading in to a matchup with Florida State and we frankly don’t have any reason to feel much different than we did after the Virginia Tech game. BC defeated Maine, and a win is a win, but it’s a win that didn’t tell us much and in fact caused its own moments of heartburn.
With Florida State’s solid 3-0 start to the season and top-40 ranking by most metrics, this has become a game where BC has to be considered a very heavy underdog, as reflected in Grant’s resetting expectations column, which shows that the Football Power Index suggests BC has about a 11% chance of winning this one.
