Should be some intriguing early season BBall matchups. Too bad there isn’t a comparable college football OOC schedule each year. I would watch SEC vs B1G football Challenge to settle which is the preeminent conference.

Going to be a bloodbath. It's impressive how bad Wisconsin has shot the 3PT away from the Kohl Center this season.

The Big 10 and PAC 12 had one in the works starting in 2013 but ultimately fell through.

Yep, several Pac-12 teams complained that with a 9 game conference schedule, devoting a tenth game to play a Big Ten team team would mean they wouldn't be able to get their quota of cupcakes in.

Very interested in the Purdue UVa rematch. There will be some extra motivation there and it will be a very defensive game. Maybe record setting low scoring

Michigan going from unranked to 4th is wild. Has that ever happened before?

According to MLive.com, Kansas was unranked to start the 1989-90 season but jumped to No. 4 after starting 4-0 with wins over three then-ranked teams, including Nos. 1 and 2, so it's happened once before.

Miami is putting it on Illinois. How can Illinois not be a Top 25 program? They can’t find 3-4 recruits a year from Chicago? Currently down 62-40

GT is down their best two players In Alvarado and Usher. Going to be tough until those guys return.

We'll see how this MSU/Duke game turns out, but it feels like the ACC is a lot better at the top while the B1G is deeper from about #6 through about #12.

Don't think any conference is going to match that Louisville/UVA/Duke/UNC combination at the top.
