MATT RYAN AND CREW JUST CHILLIN' UNDER THE RADAR?

by Sterling Gould, More Credible

I probably don't need to tell most of you, but some of you gorgeous viewers out there are unaware of the #4 ranked team in the country right now... Boston College. The one with the Eagle mascot, and you probably put two and two together to figure out the Boston part. It's a major shock to me atleast, that I haven't heard more about this team up until now considering they're just about in ESPN's backyard and I know the four-letter station loves the city of Boston more than I love the shaved vagine.

Let me give you guys some information before you read on. I by no means am a Boston College fan. Hell, I almost hate the city of Boston. My entire life I grew up in the South, so my sporting values have been raised for the southern teams. I could care less about the North and everything that comes with it. BC has an unblemished record (6-0). But I can't help to wonder, just how good is this team?

The Eagles started out with three straight conference games (WAKE, NCSU, and G-TECH) all in which they won by 10 points or more. Then they played three straight OOC (out of conference) games in which their closest deficit was 10 points. They're scoring points in bunches, despite the fact I thought they had no big time receiver for Ryan to throw to.

Enter Brandon Robinson.

Robinson has quickly become Ryan's go-to target, pulling down 29 receptions for 390 yards and four scores (he leads in all three of such categories). The offense has been efficient, putting up the most points in the conference thus far (35.8 per game) and the defense is fourth best in scoring by the ACC (18.3 per game) and ranked 1st in rushing yards allowed (298 yards all year). Preseason, I was all but sure that Virginia Tech was going to walk with the conference, but right now, BC looks unstoppable, and look to have a cake walk against Notre Dame before they meet Virginia Tech in Blacksburg for what could be a preview of the ACC title game.

I completely underestimated the power of Matt Ryan and the double first name. He's making it look like the bee's knee's right now. His touchdown to interception ratio at the moment is 3:1 per game (that's 15 touchdowns and 5 picks if your math is bad). Considering the rest of the schedule, as long as they can avoid hiccups at Virgina Tech and at Clemson, I don't see any reason this team doesn't go undefeated and a bid in the National Championship against LSU (we'll see if they can hold on).

Big props to all the Eagle fans out there. Your team is kicking some major ass. If only Bostonians could chill out about their sports and not make it so annoying for us to listen to them, I think we could appreciate it more. Until then, I'll have wet dreams of your city burning to the ground (with no one injured of course, I'm not an anarchist).

Oh well, atleast I can dream. If only this was true:
