Ohio State at Duke. Devilish
The only way it could be more Rich was if Joy Cheek were still on tOSU staff. But she's moved onward (and upward)

Looking with interest at VA Tech v. Illinois and figuring the Hokies *ought* to be able to dismantle the Illini, but they're such an unknown quantity.....

These games are a shell of what they would've been ten years ago....even 5 years ago. There are several programs who have just gone downhill in these two conferences.

By trying to vary opponents and not having the same teams play each other repeatedly, they've also run out of really good matchups. Other than the oft-mentioned OhSt-Duke, there aren't a lot of really compelling top drawer matchups here. Maryland -UVA might be interesting, and MSU-Miami, but come on, Louisville vs IU?

Indiana, like NC State, has been improving every year. Plus, Louisville -IU could be considered close to an inter-state rivalry, and might be revived away from this challenge should both parties desire. OTOH, NC State-Rutgers is likely to be a blowout, with the Scarlet Knights being the ones blown out.

I can't recall when the last time was that Muffet lost to either of those teams.
By the way, ND is undefeated in the ACC/Big10 Challenge since joining the ACC, with wins over Penn State (2013), Maryland (2014), Ohio State (2015) and Iowa (2016)

Indiana returns four players. Not found players with starting experience? Not four players with significant experience. FOUR PLAYERS!
They could still finish in the top half of the league
Louisville will immolate them.

I admit I was surprised to see Maryland play Virginia in Charlottesville. I think this game may be a mismatch.

That schedule should be a fire-able offense for Versyp.
