Big 10/ACC Challenge ends in a tie

For the 2nd straight year, the ACC and Big 10 each won 6 games in the ACC/Big 10 Challenge. Here are the results:

Big 10 Wins:
Ohio State def. Maryland
Wisconsin def. Virginia
Purdue def. Boston College
Nebraska def. Miami
Iowa def. Notre Dame
Minnesota def. Florida State

ACC Wins:
Duke def. Michigan
Pittsburgh def. Penn State
NC State def. Northwestern
UNC def. Michigan State
Georgia Tech def. Illinois
Syracuse def. Indiana

The UNC Tar Heels ended up being the deciding factor, as they were only ranked #25 in the USA Today Poll (I believe) and they went on to beat the top team in the nation in Michigan State on the road. This is a cool challenge, and perhaps if they did this in football between a few conferences, maybe who was a tougher conference would finally be proved versus talked about all season.
