The last time we had a thread like this, I got amped as well and did some relatively quick research into how the selections were made(as well as asking in the thread) that didn't yield much info other than that they were arbitrary to some extent, as the KY/St John's matchup last year proves.  I had nothing against the bleacher report's slideshow(although I normally dislike slideshows), and especially liked that he had us going 7-0(possibly) at MSG next year(was it really Mantonio writing that?) and beating Kentucky.  
 
Myself?  I don't know if we will get the matchup, and I don't give a hoot where it is as, but I would LOVE to watch it!  Hell, I might even travel a couple of time zones to attend it.  I've been letdown for a long time by our lack of 1 or 2 early nonconference games against top teams like other teams schedule.  Louisville might be the better match vs KY based on some folks' preseason predictions, however they play each other annually so that could help us.  However, I am not sure how scheduling is done, so I am not sure that would automatically preclude that game from being a matchup in the BE/SEC challenge.  It would be nice if we knew who made the selections and could petition the heck out of them.   It would be great to finally have a chance early in the season to keep the ESPN announcers from questioning our capabilities all season because we haven't played other top schools.
