ParticipantACC vs SEC? LOL.
BC vs ‘Bama? LOL again!
How about ACC vs SOCON? That would give the ACC a much better chance, especially since App State and Ga Southern have moved to Sun Belt Conf.

ParticipantGreat idea and hope it happens. Would love to see us paired with Tennessee. A&M would be great as well. That would certainly put fannies in the stands.

On hand at the inaugural meeting were officials from Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Auburn), Clemson, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology (Georgia Tech), Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi A&M (Mississippi State), North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) and Washington & Lee.

VMI joined in 1925 and Duke was added in 1929.
New news is old news….. what goes around …. well… goes around again, and again, and again….

Since we don’t have a standing SEC date… the battle of the land-grant schools seems the obvious place to start… State v. Auburn, State v. TAMU would be a good start…. I think

ParticipantThis could work. There will be a few matchups that don’t go together, but some good games could arise. Land grant schools unite!
