Big-time match-ups between the ACC's best and Big Ten's best (as well as their mediocre vs. their mediocre).
We already knew that the Syracuse Orange would be taking on the Michigan Wolverines as part of the 2014 ACC/B1G Challenge. Now we know when and who else is playing.
Monday, December 1
Nebraska at Florida State
Rutgers at Clemson
Tuesday, December 2
No. 21 Syracuse at No. 24 Michigan
Ohio State at No. 8 Louisville
Pittsburgh at Indiana
NC State at Purdue
Illinois at Miami
Minnesota at Wake Forest
Wednesday, December 3
No. 2 Duke at No. 4 Wisconsin
No. 18 Michigan State at Notre Dame
No. 25 Iowa at No. 6 North Carolina
No. 7 Virginia at Maryland
Georgia Tech at Northwestern
Virginia Tech at Penn State
Those rankings come from the ESPN way-too-early preseason poll, which is about as good at predicting how good these teams will be as you are.
Rutgers vs. Clemson? Have fun with that, everyone.
OSU vs. Louisville, Duke vs. Wisconsin, MSU vs. Notre Dame and Iowa vs. UNC are the other highlights while there's going to be a bit of novelty in Virginia playing Maryland in a non-conference setting. What are the chances Maryland requested Duke or UNC and what are the chances both schools AND the ACC laughed in their faces?
