TRUE. Next year will be much different (14 vs 15, unless you believe the expansionist theories).

However, the Big Ten has 1 mitigating advantage: No matter who wins Ohio State/Maryland, you guys can count it as a win.

4-2 ACC after the first day. The big blow was Illinois blowing a pretty decent lead @ Georgia Tech. Tomorrow does favor the Big Ten a bit more I think and 4 games will be Big Ten home games.

Iowa showed up.

If they go 14 vs. 14 next year and I'm sure they will I'd think they should spread it to 3 days. Give everyone their due of coverage so to speak.

Home teams all won.

And yes, my Illini blew it.

I.U. Is young but should have played better. I thought ILL had that one.Good job Iowa and hats off to Penn State for hanging tough. Minn beat a very athletic FSU team. We should make up some ground tonight. Go BIG!

Wisconsin winning on the road was good for the conference. First road win in this so far. Northwestern about to lose to North Carolina State to put the ACC up 5-4. Last three games are all Big Ten home games. Boston College @ Purdue, Miami (FL) @ Nebraska, and North Carolina @ Michigan State. Big Ten needs two to tie and all three to win.

Won two of three final games.

Shocker is Michigan State losing at home.


Challenge ends up tied 6-6


ACC hasn't won since 2008
