ACC-SEC "Challenge"

 Tonight is the start of the ACC-SEC Challenge.  Last year the ACC went 2-14, getting molly-whopped.  This year should be more competitive but I still expect the SEC to pull away easily.  The highlight games of the night are Duke vs Florida and North Carolina vs Kentucky.

The great game don't end there as there are great games elsewhere.  Iowa travels to Michigan State and although Iowa isn't ranked, they are undefeated.  Michigan State is the darling of the media at the moment with a lot of them lumping them in with Michigan and Purdue.  Don't be fooled, they are a tier below.

At Allen Fieldhouse, Kansas hosts Connecticut with Darryn Peterson potentially making his return.  This is the game of the night after Duke-Florida.

Have fun watching the games tonight and get ready as conference play kicks off.  A new Bracket will be out later today.
