So the ACC finished 7-2 in the challenge for the 2nd year in a row, clearly the superior conference. Illinois is the class of the Big10, but Michigan State and Wisconsin are strong teams also and could hold their own in the ACC.

So where does the "challenge" go from here. Personally, I'd like to see it head back to the Big East, where recent events with conference aligment would make for a heated and interesting challenge. Throw UConn, Syracuse, Louisville and the other 54 teams in the Big East and it would be very interesting.
