Sure the record from last season is not a clear indication of how teams will perform in 2009, but it does shed some logic behind the matchups. Based on the records this past season, the matchups seems to be fairly even 6-5 favoring the ACC, but with a few home court advantage tweaking, the matchups indicate a clear tossup with both conferences having an equal shot of success.
Yet somehow I just don’t see the Big Ten winning the Challenge this season. The ACC did win all previous 10.
