The ACC and Big Ten have been playing an annual basketball series since 1999. The two conferences have not officially agreed to any such series in football, but you’re getting it anyway this week!
Week 3 has 5 ACC vs. Big Ten games, so let’s declare it the ACC-Big Ten Challenge
Why not?
Bruce Thorson-USA TODAY Sports
There are five ACC vs. Big Ten games in Week 3, and every single one has a single-digit spread. None of the teams involved are likely to be involved in the Playoff, which seems appropriate. F/+ predicts calamity in the Big Ten, which also seems appropriate, especially considering the ACC leads the men's basketball series 10-4-2.
Virginia Tech already lost to a Big Ten team, but that was not on ACC-Big Ten Challenge Saturday and doesn’t count, seeing as the Hokies’ ACC-Big Ten Challenge opponent is Purdue, duh.
Keep score all Saturday long! Here’s the full schedule for the day.
