There are some dubious bowl entries this season, among them BC. The Eagles got bowl-eligible thanks to a midseason push, but lost their last three, and while UCF transfer QB Thomas Castellanos is a livewire, he is also prone to mistakes, such as 13 picks. This support of SMU assumes the Mustangs aren't too disappointed about being bypassed for the New Year's Six, but Rhett Lashlee's Ponies were rolling down the stretch with nine straight wins. Oh yes, this becomes an ACC matchup next year! Play SMU (Fenway Bowl)

It seems like the Mustangs quarterback situation might be bringing this point total down a bit, but freshman Kevin Jennings led them to a win over Tulane in the AAC Championship Game and has had a full month to get comfortable as the No. 1 signal-caller. The Eagles’ combination of quarterback Thomas Castellanos and running back Kye Robichaux are capable of making life difficult for opposing defensive coordinators as well. Weather won’t be an issue at Fenway Park, so don’t expect sloppy play.
