Hard to believe (or maybe not), this is the 20th year of the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. Some might call it the Big Ten-ACC Challenge, but a rose by any other name is still a woody perennial flowering plant.
Or a football bowl game, if you’re talking Pasadena. Until the advent of the football playoff, one slot in that New Year’s Day bowl long was reserved for the Big Ten.
Now the Big Ten, which is actually 14, is set to face off with the ACC in a series that’s an annual fixture as November ends.
