Week 5 Team of the Week: Boston College -- The Eagles and first-year head coach Steve Donahue have it rolling since a surprising early-season loss to Yale. Last week BC won a pair of nail-biters, 88-86 over Providence and, more impressively, a 79-75 win in their ACC opener @ Maryland.

Week 5 Team of the Weak: DePaul -- Oliver Purnell knew he was taking on a major rebuilding job in Chicago/Rosemont, and last week that point was driven home. The once mighty Blue Demons (where are you Joe Ponsetto, Mark Aguirre, Rod Strickland?) lost to a pair of non-BCS programs, Indiana State and Ball State.

Is their high RPI based on strength of schedule? They don't appear to be that strong of a team.
 

Akron

Yes, they're playing a good schedule (they've lost to Dayton, Cleveland State & Temple, with the Gophers and Miami-Florida still to come), but I'm a little disappointed so far. They're expected to be one of the better teams in the MAC, but Temple really hammered 'em (82-47). That surprised me, as I don't think of Temple as an explosive type of team.
