ACC-Big 10 Challenge

[EggMcClone]

The ACC is 8-0 in the event and already ahead 1-0 after last night. Is this the Big 10's year? I say no. 7-4 ACC?

I see Indiana, Purdue, and possibly Penn State winning. Wisconsin could surprise Duke as I think they are vastly overrated.

I like Wisky, but there is no way they win AT Cameron Indoor. Vitale would probably start throwing things at Hughes if it gets close late.

This was a great idea...the Challenge. Unfortunately, the ACC is so far superior to the Big 10 that it really is no challenge for the ACC to win this EVERY YEAR. Right now it is ACC 5 - Big 10 1. And the one Big 10 win was a squeaker by Indiana at home over an unranked Ga. Tech team.

By the way, I hope you who think Duke is overrated (and thought that Wisconsin had a chance) watched that beat-down Duke put on Wisconsin last night. Memo to all: Duke is for real this year and Wisconsin would have no chance to beat them no matter the location of the game.

I'm certainly no Duke homer like Vitale (in fact, I would like to see them thrown off the throne) but you cannot deny the fact that they have a very good team this year.

I think I heard that no Big Ten team has a winning record in the competition. It really isn't much of a competition.

Maybe they should make the Big Ten/A-10 Challenge.

These games are the ACC's "Final Four".

You gotta love how the lil 11 only get 2-3 wins in this thing every year.

Whats even better is that I heard Wake Forest was picked to finished damn near last in their league... yet they dominated Iowa.

Iowa is also picked to finish pretty close to last.

But I won't bring up how the last couple of years have been 1-2 game wins for the ACC...

Much like our Big XII/MVC Challenge? :no:

Probably good you didn't.
2007 (currently) ACC 7-2
2006 ACC 8-3
2005 ACC 6-5
2004 ACC 7-2
2003 ACC 7-2

The first few years were close but it's been a massacre since then.
