It's really a misnomer to call a contest that has been so dominated over the last 9 years a challenge. It seems like every year the ACC wins convincingly at every level of quality in the respective leagues. That said, I'm looking forward to this Duke at Purdue game tonight. While Purdue has been revived for more than a year now, this will be the coming out party for this team.

Purdue -2 against Duke
Clemson pick at Illinois
Minnesota -7 against Virginia
Iowa +8 at Boston College

A fellow Dukie fan, eh? Good to know...

That being said, I must disagree with your assessment...this is the time of year they play well...they will win...at one point this year, will be overrated at number one, and then lose in the opening weekend of the tournament...
