Boston College, which started its football season in Muncie, Ind., yesterday faced the possibility of getting squeezed out of the Big East's bowl mix and ending its season in a place such as Las Vegas, Boise (Idaho), Fort Worth, or Shreveport (La.).

BLACKSBURG The ACC didn&#39;t want these guys. Didn&#39;t want them in 1953, didn&#39;t want them two springs ago, didn&#39;t want them if even they said pretty please with a Hokie Bird on top.

All those who turned up their noses at the prospect of Virginia Tech joining the ACC are looking pretty silly right about now. After begging, pleading, cajoling and even doing some old-fashioned arm-twisting to get into the Atlanta Coast Conference, the Hokies proved in their first season what they've known all along: They definitely belong.

It has become the time of year when everything in college football is relative. Your team has to win its games in order to move up in the BCS poll, or win its conference, or even just to qualify for a bowl bid.

It's over. For now. At least that's the hope of the people who have tried to make the Bowl Championship Series run the right way the past few years. Six BCS title games have been played, and three times they matched up the wrong teams. Last season was the ultimate fiasco when Southern Cal, ranked No. 1 in both the ...

It's getting late. The Boston College men's basketball team has two Atlantic Coast Conference games remaining in its regular season and the Eagles' margin for error is rapidly shrinking. And beatdowns such as last night's 79-62 setback at Virginia Tech did little to improve BC's postseason posture for a first-round bye in the ACC tourney and a ...

The Boston College women's basketball team has had a bad taste in its mouth since losing to Notre Dame two weeks ago. And as hard as the Eagles tried last night -- even taking a 15-point lead in the first half -- they couldn't get rid of that bitter taste.
