Just listening to Cuz's corner (youtube podcast), WVU/Big12 fan and he was discussing some possible exciting matchups that could involve the 2 conferences. He of course mentions Pitt vs WVU and UL vs Cinci as natural rivalries, the only new one he threw out was NCSU vs KSU which I think it could work. Here are some other matchups I think could work:

Kansas vs Duke/UNC - Duke has played Kansas recently and they were good games, I think Kansas vs UNC would also work just as well.

TCU vs SMU - this should be a good one going forward.

UCF vs FSU - not likely to happen with FSU trying to escape the ACC, but this would be a fun matchup.

Baylor vs Wake - private schools, Baptist connection, would be good exposure for Wake playing against a school in a football crazy state.

The is some merit there. If FSU is afraid to play UCF then maybe Miami would play them?

Really the "Old ACC" mbrs have more alignment with the SEC as far as matchups or Big10 (Maryland). However Louisville vs Cincy and SMU vs TCU would be nice plus Pitt vs WVU. add those three to the ACC vs SEC matchups and UVA vs Maryland and it is pretty nice match OOC lineup.

Stanford and Cal vs Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, Colorado
