Playboy's 2007 Top 40 College Football Rankings

« prev - home - next »

20. Boston College

Coach:
Jeff Jagodzinski, former offensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers, takes over for Tom O'Brien, now head coach at North Carolina State.

Last year:
10-3, beating Navy 25-24 in the Meineke Car Care Bowl.

Offense: Some adjustments may be in the works with Jagodzinski and new offensive coordinator Steve Logan, former head coach at East Carolina. Returning quarterback Matt Ryan, first team All-ACC last season, will provide some much-needed continuity. The Eagles must find some depth for the offensive line.

Defense: Among the best in the conference last year, and with nine starters returning, the defense should be nearly as good this year. The Eagles will miss linebacker Brian Toal, who will likely be redshirted after having shoulder surgery.

Schedule: Brutal. The Eagles open at home against defending conference champ Wake Forest. The road schedule includes Georgia Tech, Notre Dame, Virginia Tech, Maryland and Clemson.

Prediction: 8-4
