No doubt that these "Extra Games" that those teams in both the ACC and SEC will now be required to play, will have an impact on other conferences (ie: Big East, Big 12, PAC-12, and Big 10) trying to add "COMPETITIVE" non-conference games to their schedules.

Predicted this woukd happen back in summer. Now South Carolina can't hide from Duke. Looking forward to the chickens returning to Durham.... In 2031.

Made too much sense not to do.

How are these "extra games"? The article says the new SEC-ACC challenge will simply replace the SEC-Big 12 and ACC-Big Ten challenges that have been going on for years. So how does this affect the opportunities for other potential nonconference games?

Not sure who decides the match-ups but maybe ND will be forced to play South Carolina.

Sweet. Should be some good games.
