College football in the Boston area was significantly disrupted by World War II, as many college players and coaches left school to serve the war effort. The only player for Boston College left from its 1943 Orange Bowl squad was captain Ed "The Brain" Doherty, who also assisted Moody Sarno in coaching duties.[2] Playing a shortened schedule consisting mainly of teams from military bases, the Eagles finished the year unbeaten with a record of 4–0–1.

In the final Litkenhous Ratings, Boston College ranked 144th among the nation's college and service teams with a rating of 53.3.[3]
