## Resource

Boston College football faces a crossroads as conference realignment looms—could a return to regional matchups and a revived Big East be on the horizon? AJ Black examines the shifting ACC landscape, the dominance of the SEC and Big Ten, and what the future holds for programs like Boston College, Syracuse, and Pitt. Are the Power Two conferences set to leave legacy schools behind, and would a more regionalized structure actually benefit BC’s path to the College Football Playoff? Bill O'Brien’s future as head coach is under the microscope after a rocky 2–10 season. AJ Black outlines the must-win games, transfer portal moves, and the urgent need for new additions like Mason McKenzie and Juju Jumeau to make an instant impact. Can O'Brien win back the fan base with improved recruitment, sharper game management, and early victories against Cincinnati, Rutgers, and Maine? Find out what it will take to restore faith in the Eagles.
