[EastCoast2]

There is a chance the SEC goes 4-0 tonight

Kentucky will beat SJU
Alabama will beat G'Town
S. Carolina might beat Providence
Mississippi and DePaul is a wash

on Friday, whole different story

Syracuse over Florida
Louisville over Vandy
Cincy over Georgia
Seton Hall over Auburn

Saturday

UConn over Arkansas
Pitt over Tennessee
Miss. St. over WVU
LSU over Rutgers

Big East wins challenge 7-5

 

[SU2NASA]

No idea why there are two ACC teams and a Big 12 team participating in the Big East/SEC challenge.

 

[EastCoast2]

Cuse/Pitt to ACC will definitely turn the tides in favor of the ACC

 

[NovaOrange]

My feeling is
Kentucky will beat SJU
Alabama will lose to G'Town
S. Carolina will lose to Providence
Mississippi beats DePaul

my feeling is these challenges are kinda dumb...they never seem to have great matchups with the exception of Cuse Florida and louisville vandy

 

[Upstate]

The matchups in this make no sense. Why they would schedule a team that lost 8 seniors and really struggle this year against a team everyone knew would be top-3. Why wouldn't they do UK/Pitt? or UK/SU? We've only played Florida 3 times in the last 5 years

 

[jcuse44]

It seems that they always schedule the Kentuckys and North carolinas to play crap teams for the most part so they can add a win from that conference to their resume. I know that sounds conspiracy theory like but it always happens... and no i don't think wisconsin is that great of a team

 

[EastCoast2]

UK/SU would've been awesome

 

[Madbiker]

Don't know what this Challenge is supposed to prove since there is no rationale to the pairings. At least the ACC/B1G was basically matched up by the pre-season conference predictions for standings...1 vs. 1, 2 vs.2, etc. The BE/SEC matchups? #1 UK vs #10 STJ? So the whole thing means nothing. I just want to see SU beat UF.

 

[Ozcuse]

UL vs UK would have been pretty electric too.

Would have liked to see us matched against Vandy instead of Florida for the 3rd time.

I think the B10/ACC challenge is done by the previous season's final regular season conference standings

 

[raf4488]

I'm thinking UK wanted no part of SU/UConn/Pitt because they play UNC Saturday.

 

[Garbs]

10-2 Big East wins

 

[skurey]

Bama gonna roll Georgetown

 

[Garbs]

Bama sucks

Come on, that's pretty ridiculous I think. Wisconsin was what, preseason #2 in the conf? Last year they were at Illinois. Michigan State the year before that. Looks like Michigan State again the year prior to that. Ohio State the year before and the year before th at. I'm not going to keep going back, but come on, UNC always plays one of the best teams in the big 10. How many big 10 teams are better than Wisconsin? I can only think of one.

 

[skurey]

Bama sucks

Have fun rooting for Georgetown, commie

They match the teams up by conference standings. Winner of B10 vs winner of ACC, 2nd B10 vs. 2nd ACC etc... regular season standings.

Is that true? Didn't UNC take the ACC regular season last year?

And Purdue finished second, they played Miami, who was in the bottom half.

Maybe pre-season polls?

what part of "Bama sucks" says I am rooting for Georgetown

or UConn/UK. I like our matchup with Florida.

Hmm you're right. Maybe I'm wrong on that... must be projected standings then?

UConn played UK last year
