- The Boston College Eagles football team represents Boston College in the sport of American football. The Eagles compete in the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) as a member of the Atlantic Division of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). The Eagles home games are played at Alumni Stadium on the university's campus in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. Formed in 1892, Boston College has won four Eastern championships in 1940, 1942, 1983, and 1984 (when most Division I FBS schools in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions remained independent) as well as one co–Big East championship in 2004. BC claims one national championship in 1940, though the NCAA doesn't recognize it. The program has amassed over 650 wins, and has a 14–13 record in postseason bowl games, most notably the 1941 Sugar Bowl and 1985 Cotton Bowl. Boston College has produced a Heisman Trophy winner (Doug Flutie in 1984), 13 consensus All-Americans, and over 200 NFL players. Boston College has had 8 members inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, and two inductees into the Pro Football Hall of Fame: Art Donovan and Ernie Stautner. Boston College is one of only two Catholic universities that field a team in the Football Bowl Subdivision, the other being Notre Dame. In addition to success on the gridiron, Boston College football teams are consistently ranked among the nation's best for academic achievement and graduation. In 2005, 2006, and 2007, the football team's Academic Progress Rate was the highest of any school that finished the season ranked in the AP or ESPN/USA Today Coaches' polls. Boston College is the only FBS school in Massachusetts (as well as New England) to compete in one of the Power Five conferences. The Eagles are currently coached by Jeff Hafley, who formerly served as co-defensive coordinator at Ohio State. (en)
