• Rank 'Em: Where does Duke rank among the best teams in the nation?
• Vote: Which conference will be stronger at season's end?

For the majority of its existence, the ACC/Big Ten Challenge has been dominated by the ACC. The conference has a 10-1 record in the challenge, its loss coming in 2009. That loss could have be a sign of things to come -- our experts picked the Big Ten to prevail -- but that was before last night's stunner of a game, however, with Virginia knocking off Minnesota 87-79 in the challenge opener. Fortunately for the Big Ten, it has its own powerhouse team in the form of Michigan State taking on top-ranked Duke in the series finale. The whole slate of games is being broadcast across ESPN's family of networks, so make sure to tune in.

• "I'm surprised that even one expert picked Duke to lose to MSU. No one looks better than Duke right now and State has been less than impressive. But I will say that MSU has just as much, if not more, experience as Duke. This might easily be the same situation as the one from two years ago where State plays an ACC team twice in one year with a championship on the line. Should be an awesome game! This game might decide the winner of the challenge too." -- ChaseP2510
• "The reality is the Big Ten from top to bottom is probably slightly better than the ACC this year. You could argue the same for last year. The problem is the ACC in the last two seasons has been as bad as it has been in a long time. Yet in those two seasons the national champs have come from ... the ACC, which has won five of the last 10 titles. Duke looks ready to repeat this year, and the ACC as a whole should be much better next year." -- Bigtymer301202
