Finally, the ACC/B1G Challenge pairings


Huge hire for Maryland

Or on paper, it certainly seems this way. Mark Turgeon hired Dalonte Hill onto his staff at Maryland; if he could convince Baltimore/DC kids to follow him out to Manhattan, Kansas and a middling Big 12 program, what will he be able to do from their backyard?

Turgeon seems like a good guy and anything that chips away at Duke/UNC in the ACC is a positive development in my book.

Big 10 / ACC

It's nice the Gophers got a match-up with a team they have not played in the challenge. With Gophers & Hokies recent bubble history, who knows this could be an early play-in game.

I continue to be envious of the Badgers, they got another marquee match-up in Chapel Hill.

On a side note, I think the new Big 10 logo blows.
 

Ope3, is Virginia Tech a team you'll be able to cross off your "BCS list"?
 

Hokies

Yes, the Hokies will be one more team to cross off the list. I would like to cross off Baylor with a trip down to Ames as well.
