Boston College is in position to be this season’s Iowa State.That doesn’t necessarily sound like a compliment, considering the shape the Cyclones (2-7, 0-6 Big 12) are in this season. But only a few years ago — 2011 to be exact — Iowa State shook up the national championship race with the upset of the season.Oklahoma State was undefeated and a couple of victories away from playing in the BCS championship game when the Cowboys were shocked 37-31 in double overtime by a Cyclones team that was just trying to become bowl eligible. The Cowboys ended up getting the BCS snub and LSU and Alabama rematched for the national title.This Saturday’s schedule has very little appeal outside of the Pac-12 South.
