Are you really comparing Wake Forest to Boston College??  Really??

Have you compared the records?

For FB - the sport that drives CR - Boston College has hardly "sucked" for decades.  Since 1999, when TOB took over - and through 4 different coaches - they have had 14 winning seasons out of 16.  How many other Northeast programs can make that claim during this period?  During the same timeframe, WF has only had  6 winning seasons.

As far as your "decades" measurement, BC's life time FB record is 643-465-36, which is good for roughly the top third of programs.  WF, by comparison, is almost the exact inverse of BC as they are 432-634-33 - one of the worst accumulated records in CF.

BC has not been an "elite" program, to be sure (few can be called that).  However, they have been an overall competitive and successful program.  The numbers bear that out.  In the past decade and one half, they have been one of the most successful programs in the Northeast.

They certainly have not "sucked" as you infer......and they certainly should not be lumped with WF from a performance perspective.
