11. Boston College (Nov. 23)

In 2018, Boston College finished fourth in the ACC Atlantic Division, right between NC State and Wake Forrest. NC State had a solid start to its season, but overall, this is not great company.

Boston College will be replacing four starting offensive lineman, which opens the door for Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa, Khalid Kareem, and the rest of the Fighting Irish’s defensive line to get to the quarterback. We can expect a stellar defensive performance by the Irish in this matchup.

But this isn’t the only position group for which the Eagles will be replacing. Three of Boston College’s key defensive linemen also won’t be returning in 2019.

Not only will Ian Book has plenty of time to pick apart the secondary, but Jafar Armstrong and Co. will amass tons of yardage on the ground.

Final: Notre Dame 52, Boston College 13 (10-1)
