[B]A look forward at the ACC/SEC challenge.[/B]

After starting the year 1-12 vs the SEC, the ACC is now raring to go to officially challenge the SEC!

The ACC will certainly do better win % wise than 1-12, when you consider there are home games.   Using win probability based on team rankings the expectation would probably be 5 wins (5-11).   So get some luck and that could be 7 games... I suppose some bad luck makes it 3 wins.

Projected Lines
[B]Day 1[/B]
Arkansas at Miami (+2.5)
Notre Dame (+7) at Georgia
Cal (+10) at Missouri
South Carolina at BC (+1)
Syracuse (+20) at Tennessee
Wake Forest (+12) at Texas A&M
[I]Ole Miss at Louisville (-4)[/I]
Georgia Tech (+10.5) at Oklahoma
[I]Florida St (+4) at LSU
Kentucky at Clemson (-1)[/I]
[B]Day 2[/B]
[I]Alabama at UNC (-2)[/I]
Virginia (+15.5) at Florida
[I]Auburn at Duke (-2)
Pitt (+1) at Miss St
Texas at NC St (+1)
Vandy at Virginia Tech (+3)[/I]

The big advantage the SEC has going in is there are 5 games where they will be double digit fav's.   And Notre Dame is down +7 as well.   ACC will not be a big favourite in any games.

The ACC will have to do well in the other 10 games which really could go either way (spreads between +4 and -2)

Day 1 could be rough, and they could make it more reasonable in Day 2.
