Why they'll play in a BCS bowl: The Eagles nearly played in a BCS bowl game last season, but then quarterback Paul Peterson broke his hand and Syracuse blasted them, 43-17, in the regular season finale.

Why they'll play in Boise, Idaho, on Dec. 28: The Eagles will have to prepare harder than any team in the league because everything is new to them. They play three of their last four games on the road, including a Nov. 19 finale at Maryland.

Tomorrow: No. 21 Iowa State.

Previously: No. 25 Alabama, No. 24 Texas Tech and No. 23 Virginia.
