Auburn handled Virginia Tech last night, 74-57. Pretty much in control the whole way, with Johni Broome leading the way with 30/13. This was part of the SEC/ACC Challenge, something I wish they would do in football as well. Results:

Obviously, the ACC is predominately one of the elite conferences, top to bottom, year in and year out. The SEC has really picked up its game in recent years, as far as stronger teams throughout the conference. I think you have quite a few who could easily get on a roll come March, and make a legitimate run to the Final 4. I think there's going to be a lot of teams getting in the dance with .500 conference records because of the balance of the league, and the increased SOS, which the Commissioner pretty much mandated several years ago.
But how neato-keen would it be to take one football Saturday, and match up the SEC and the Big 10? Would you pull up a cooler and some wings for a Saturday of:
FUGA vs. Michigan
Bama vs. tOhio State
LSU vs. Washington
Auburn vs. USC
Florida vs. UCLA
Shiiiiiiiit, that would be some good stuff.
