If we are going with just one then Clemson and SC, UGa and GT, FSU and Florida, and Louisville and KY are off the board.

Let's start with Carolina.

Since South Carolina is off the board, the closest and most logical school is Texas. It would be the ego bowl and it would hearken back to some games played in the 1940's.

To match that NC State and TAMU would play.

Vandy has a regular partner in Wake Forest.

Tenn would play Duke again. This used to be a regular game.

VT would play Auburn.

Bama would play Miami.

Ole Miss and Virginia would play.

SMU and Arkansas would play.

LSU, MSU, Mizzou, and OU need a game. OU's game is obviously Nebraska. Mizzou's game is Kansas. If MSU played Tulane, LSU could play USF. (Cajans vs. Cubans)

Pitt's game is obviously Penn State, and lacking that West Virginia. BC would play Connecticutt and Syracuse would play Rutgers. Did I miss anyone?

Stanford would play ND or USC. Cal would play UCLA or Washington and Oregon.

You're left with Oklahoma, LSU, Mississippi, and Mississippi State on the SEC side and North Carolina, Virginia, Wake Forest, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Boston College, and Stanford on the ACC side. North Carolina would want a basketball school but Kentucky's already taken. Maybe LSU since Shaq went there as well as Pete Maravich?

I'm biased but I think the Big Ten and ACC would make better pairings outside of the obvious in state rivalries and it's not like the Big Ten and ACC don't share at least one (and the California pairs as well starting in 2024).

I don't see a lot of obvious ACC-B1G rivals compared with the ACC-SEC.

Penn State - Pitt
Maryland - Virginia
Rutgers - Syracuse
Northwestern - Duke

You would think UCLA - Cal and USC - Stanford, but I'm guessing the pair left behind in the PAC may not want to play their now-B1G counterparts.

Indiana - North Carolina (Basketball crazed) (or North Carolina - Michigan State)
Ohio State - Clemson (Football crazed, several CFP games)
Michigan - Florida State (or Miami)
Illinois - Georgia Tech (Public tech schools)
Michigan State - Virginia Tech (Shadow schools, decent football)
Minnesota - Boston College (Big cities, hockey cities)
Wisconsin - Miami (No obvious ties but good football schools)
Nebraska - Louisville (Academically challenged)
Purdue - Wake Forest (Non state names, have had decent men's basketball programs)
Iowa - NC State (Left over)

Those all seem forced, and for mostly weak reasons unrelated to football. They aren't rivalries based on current or prior relationships.

Yes, very little history there.

For NC State their B10 playing history is with MD, Penn State, then Michigan State. Academically they are a doppelganger to Purdue and Michigan State.

So NC State -Michigan State - 6 prior meetings
That makes Michigan and UNC the defacto Ego Bowl - 3 prior meetings
Ohio State and Clemson - 5 prior meetings
Penn State and Pitt - 80 prior meetings
UVa and MD - 79 prior meetings
Wisconsin and VT - 0 prior meetings
NW and Duke - 23 prior meetings
Syracuse and Rutgers -43 prior meetings
GT and Illinois - 0 prior meetings
Minn and BC - 0 prior meetings
Miami and Nebraska - a historic rivalry 12 prior meetings
Louisville and Indiana - 3 prior meetings
Stanford and USC - 101 prior meetings
Cal and UCLA and or Washington 93 and 101 prior meetings
WF and Purdue - 5 prior meetings
Florida State and Oregon - 1 prior meeting
SMU would have to play Iowa I suppose - 0 prior meetings

I had 12 of these as well. The only ACC schools I couldn't find a logical match for were Florida State, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and Boston College. Maybe I could see Georgia Tech and Purdue, and Florida State should have one of the better football programs, but Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin would all fill that bill. But Wake Forest and BC simply have no logical counterpart.

Anything at all between the ACC and B10 would need an ironclad contracted witnessed by God himself. At best you would get these games one year on and one year off.

Only Penn State and Ohio State will expose themselves to a team of equal stature if left to their own devices. That's why you can't match Michigan against FSU or Clemson.

I can't help but think any interaction with them is just a waste of time.

Rutgers, MD, VT, PSU, Purdue, Illinois, MSU, Wisky, MN, Nebraska, NC State, Clemson, and Ohio State are all "cow" colleges - land grants. But VT, NC State, MSU, Purdue, and Clemson have another older public university in their state. Sometimes PSU fits with this group, sometimes not.

That puts Ohio State, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wisky, Illinois, MD, and Rutgers in a more powerful position.

Congrats on finding a whole new and totally irrelevant way of putting down Louisville on the ACC boards. I've actually seen people on here bemoaning the fact that fewer & fewer Card fans post on here. Gee, I wonder why.

Wake has played Vanderbilt on rivalry weekend before. I think the fanbases enjoy playing each other, but there really isn’t any venom in it.

Surprisingly, there’s more hold over animosity with South Carolina.

Louisville got the spot that Connecticut wanted. Connecticut won the national championship last year. Louisville was one of the worst men's basketball teams in the country. Until the ACC went to California/Texas, Louisville was the only school not in an Atlantic state. If you look at the USN&WR rankings, Louisville is by far the outlier. I think the Louisville criticism is fair if you're a UConn fan and they got rejected in fair of Louisville.

Tennessee. Our shared history with Johnny Majors makes it a no brainer.

For OOC rivals no one conference will do.

My selections for healthy competition that drives interest (without doubling any rivals)…
ACC v SEC
Clemson - South Carolina
Georgia Tech - Georgia
Florida State - Florida
Louisville - Kentucky
North Carolina - Tennessee
Wake Forest - Vanderbilt

ACC v B1G
Stanford - Southern Cal
California - UCLA
Pitt - Penn State
Virginia - Maryland
Syracuse - Rutgers

ACC v B12
SMU - TCU
Virginia Tech - West Virginia

ACC v academies
BC - Army
Duke - Navy

Wild cards
Miami - LSU/Nebraska/Houston
NC State - Mississippi State/Michigan State/Texas Tech

Since we broke the 4th wall already, FSU’s BigTen rival would be Penn State. If there is no doubling up on rivals then it would be Oregon, we owe them a little payback.

Oh, you mean for this game?

For Wake it would be Vanderbilt. We actually play them (17 times), and they are the only SEC team we have played more than a handful of times, other than South Carolina, who we haven't played since the 80's.

Let's open this up. More than one school can claim the same team.

So Duke can also claim Kentucky even though they're obviously Louisville's. Basketball rivals. The Christian Laettner shot is one of the greatest shots and the Duke/Kentucky game is one of the greatest men's basketball games in history. They also play at the very least once every three years in the Champion's Classic. North Carolina can also have Kentucky because of men's basketball.

If we were going the other way, Alabama's rivalry with an ACC member no doubt would be Clemson. They only played in three national championship games in four years (and in the other year they played in the semifinals).

First of all.... pick ONE school to cheer for....second of all are you really a UK fan?....third, whats the point in taking a thread to pick an SEC rivalry team to single out UofL with insults? .....again i bring this back to second point question with curious eyes...

Maybe those losses Nova took to us in the Big East left a deep cut...

Anyways...if not UK, I think for SEC, Auburn would be a good matchup with some spice...and for B10 not taking into consideration actual wins because they don't take football seriously at IU, but still we're border war programs there....and another that probably does take football seriously would be stay in hoosier state with Purdue.

Who cares what he thinks? He’s a Big Ten homer, so he’s used to talking up a big game and not delivering.
