B.P. on B.C.

Did Bill Plaschke get rejected from Boston College? How else to explain his swipe at them in his Thursday column when he asks, “Does college football really need third-ranked B.C. to play for a national title?” In his yearning to see traditional college football powerhouses play for the national championship, he belittles B.C.’s schedule by selectively pointing out their three weakest opponents, a tactic that could also be directed at the vast majority of BCS conference teams. In doing so, he neglects to mention that B.C. also plays against Georgia Tech, Notre Dame, Florida State, Clemson and Miami.

Perhaps the question should be, “Does anybody really need Bill Plaschke?”
