I dont believe that there are many ACC schools that would view Texas as a big game. And there are definitely more games than Duke/UNC that would be bigger games than Texas/UNC. Duke/UNC/Louisville/Syracuse. Any game between those four schools would be a bigger game than any of those teams against Texas, as well as Texas/UNC. Texas hasnt been as good as any of those schools, nor does Texas get tv ratings like those four.

I was actually talking about nationally televised games. Which would be "big" games for ESPN to promote? Texas against those top 4 ACC programs are most definitely "big" games.

That's why I listed Texas as being better than ACC basketball fan favorites GT, Wake, NC State and possibly UVA.
