Boston College is a big-time player in the Boston sports scene. Just last night, Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon introduced the Eagles during the ESPN telecast. One time, BC managed to make the third page of the Boston Globe sports section. Bob Ryan even thought about going to one of their games once.
To celebrate just how crazy Bostonians are over Boston College football, I present this ranking of just how much Boston loves each of their sports teams:

So, as you can see, Boston College is very popular. In fact, after tonight's ugly win, they might actually move behind Ben Affleck. Congratulations Eagles. Keep telling yourself you matter.
