I’m looking at week 3 and I see no fewer than 6 Big 10 vs ACC Games on the schedule:

UVA @ M’land
L’ville @ Indiana
Minn @ UNC
N’western @ Duke
VT @ Rutgers
Syracuse @ Purdue

Anyone care to make some predictions?

Can we cancel these and bring back the basketball challenge instead?

Most of these matchups favor the ACC. I think Maryland is the only one that should be the clear cut winner for the BigTen and that’s because UVA is super bad.

Better get used to these challenges. The Big XII and SEC will probably start doing these kind of challenges in the future.

Maybe "The Alliance" wasn't all bs and a bunch of things got scheduled in between realignment?

Would be pretty funny if both the P2 get shut out of the final 4 team CFP.

At the very least every year until 2037.

Purdue/Virginia Tech was this past weekend. With the weather delay that game seemed to last all day.

Consequence of the P5 mandate for OOC by both leagues.

It's a shame that when Maryland and Virginia get to play again, Virginia football is in the state it is currently. That being said, don't you dare take this game away from us

2013(the last UMD vs UVA game) feels a lot farther in the past than it actually is. We need this! lol

This. And both leagues decided they were going to schedule programs that were not high risk for an L. Everyone wants to schedule the likes of an Indiana, Rutgers, Maryland, Virginia, etc.

Once the ACC GOR ends, UVa likely will wind up in the Big Ten and Maryland and Virginia annually. I'm more confident in Virginia than I am about North Carolina if the SEC people are to be believed (then again the SEC people probably believe they're getting both UNC and UVa).

Maryland 42
Virginia 14
4Q

Yeesh.

Can you please inform the schedule makers of this!! Even though Maryland has the 3rd longest active win streak vs non-conference opponents in FBS, the ooc opposition hasn't been anything to brag about. Texas was the last big name we had and the Terps won back to back season openers against them when we were at our worst as a football program. (Georgia and Wake Forest are the two with longer active ooc win streaks). If everyone wants to schedule Maryland, I would gladly take bigger ooc games. It might bring back some of the fans that were ran off during the Edsall era and especially the Durkin era.

Maryland finally wore a uniform that didn’t make me throw up in my mouth a little when I tuned in. That should count as another Big Ten win, but I think they still lost the “challenge”.

The red Bobby Ross Terp script throwbacks are our main uniforms now and always should of been. The black is our alt. I'll warn you about the Penn st. game, rumor has it that the Terps will do a "gold rush" for that game, the gold(it's not gold, it's a yellow) uniforms have been very hit or miss whenever we try them for football.

I love the state flag, the state history behind it, and it's symbolic meaning of healing post civil war, but it shouldn't be a football uniform.

I sure would of liked to have played UNC-Chapel Hill instead of UNC-Charlotte in week two. Apparently everyone wants to schedule Maryland, so for the love of all things holy, schedule us!!! lmao

Well done…. I believe you picked all 6 games correctly
