The Eagles have a new hit, and no, it's not those Eagles. Boston College fans, meet Robert Francois, the replacement for Brian Toal and the subject of a new song called "Ro Fran Don't Touch Me." It's a soft rock tune comprised by your very own Billy Flutie and Will Thompson. I can't make this stuff up, folks.

Vanderbilt coach Bobby Johnson has known Duke's defensive coordinator "since he was a little kid," which is why it will be a homecoming of sorts for Mike MacIntyre on Saturday.

While the quarterbacks at Miami might continue to smile and nod and say all the right things to reporters this week, at least one of their teammates is sick of this story.

Receiver D.J. Boldin has been one of the bright spots for Wake Forest's struggling offense this season, but he had to first shake the shadow of his older brother.

Check out the numbers on Chuck Amato's last recruiting class at North Carolina State. Or, rather, what's left of it.
