Big Ten vs. SEC Challenge: Projecting intriguing matchups

If Rutgers coach Chris Ash thinks like his friend and mentor Bret Bielema, then he might be a proponent of a scheduling idea that would shake up college football.

Bielema, the Arkansas coach, pitched the idea of a Big Ten/SEC Challenge similar to the Big Ten/ACC Challenge in basketball.

What's more? It would set up some spicy matchups.

Here's our preferred 14-game slate, picked with history and coaching ties in mind.
