BigTen/ACC Challenge. One down, five to go?

Submitted by UNCWolverine on
Penn State pulls off an "upset" tonight in Charlottesville to give the BigTen an early lead. I'll be pulling for every BigTen teams, except for Moo U against my Tarheels of course.

I don't see it happening and for one reason. Iowa and Indiana are the two worst teams in the conference and both have home games. It's ridiculous that those spreads are as low as they are (Iowa +2.5 and Indiana +4.5 I've loaded on both naturally) IU simply does not have the experience/depth at guard to keep up with Maryland, and Iowa will have to hit their threes with some consistancy (which they haven't yet) to have a shot with their high-variance pace. Top that off with Wisconsin, the conference's toughest place to play imo, playing Duke (who has looked like gangbusters) and you're asking for a lot from the mid tier of the Big 10. Penn St was a good win for the conference, but I still see this shaking down 7-4 for the ACC.
