## Resource

ACC Media projects Boston College Eagles to finish near the bottom of the conference, but will Bill O’Brien’s squad shatter expectations? AJ Black breaks down the recent ACC preseason polls, analyzing why skepticism surrounds BC football after a 2-10 season and spotlighting key road games against top-seeded Miami and SMU. He explores the under-the-radar opportunities on the Eagles’ schedule and questions if a “chip on your shoulder” mentality can turn preseason disrespect into triumph on the field. Boston College basketball faces a similar uphill climb, as Jon Rothstein’s projections drop the Eagles to 16th despite offseason buzz around fresh talent like Jacob Furphy and an upgraded out-of-conference schedule under Luke Murray. Can the Eagles’ recruiting surge and deeper roster fuel a surprise breakthrough? Plus, AJ Black celebrates Luke Kuechly’s rise as Netflix’s top NFL game analyst, drawing on his legendary on-field instincts.
