I can't find a market on here for Wake Forest @ Boston College.
Am I going wrong somehow ?

You're not going wrong. Bf don't care about the exchange any more and especially small markets like this. You're supposed to be grateful there are some games up for tomorrow 
I play US football extensively and find it absolutely unbelievable that the TV live game is not even a market on here particularly at a time when there is virtually no other live sport on TV.
The Betfair coverage on American Football and in particular College football seems to have lost touch with what punters actually want and need if they are to play the markets on here.So few games are being covered and so few market choices are being made available that it is becoming more and more difficult to play the games on the site.Over a period of time this has become something of an ever decreasing circle.The result is the totally mistaken view that if you offer less and less you will somehow focus the money on those markets.I can understand that Betfair has for several years marginalised itself on the lesser college football games by the above policy which has meant the college markets have become more and more empty as customers who want to play the games and spreads not available here have been driven elsewhere making it less and less likely that it will be worth Betfair's while putting up the markets but it has now got to the stage where Betfair has unfortunately become 8th or 9th choice for betting on this sport.This ultimately means that Betfair is losing more and more of its market share on everything but the very top NFL games and College games and it is actually even losing some of what it could take on those games where the handicap market and/or total lines move away from Betfair's sparse offerings.Every week as Betfair takes less and less on these games the coverage becomes more and more restricted.
Every week the first markets up should be ALL the TV games both NFL AND College and there should be a very wide spread of handicap markets and points total markets available so that Betfair almost automatically remains a market place in touch with the line movements.That would mean that some of the individual point spreads or total spreads would take very little or no money but the Betfair overall takings on the sport would rise.
