B1G mailbag: Big Ten-SEC challenge pairings, Illinois a sleeper?
It's been a few weeks since I dipped into the ol' mailbag. Let's make up for lost time:
@BennettESPN If this hypothetical B1G/SEC challenge were to take place THIS season-what would you want the matchups to be for each team?
Brian Bennett: Arkansas' Bret Bielema mentioned this possibility (again) at the SEC meetings this week (and had it quickly shot down). It's not the first time such an idea has been raised. While it would be more fun than we can scarcely imagine, this is less than hypothetical. Because of how scheduling works in the real world, it's impossible.
