I bet it will be West Virginia - shot in the dark.

Wouldn't surprise me if we get Syracuse. They've been pretty terrible setting up the matchups to this point.

Rumors swirling of UK playing St. John's. Weak sauce IMO.

That sucks. I wanted to see someone different and also one that didn't want to curb stomp us.

I'm a fan of this. There's much more to gain for us than there is for Pitt. Plus, we'll get some national exposure on ESPN as well.

If Tennessee and Kentucky traded opponents, the Challenge would be set up about as well as it possibly could be.

This is true as well. Kentucky/Pitt would be one of the better games of the OOC slate overall.

I completely agree.

That UK-St Johns matchup is pathetic. The ESPN-types probably love it. And I don't understand why they would want us in a rematch? Give us something different.

I don't care about different, I want the best possible series. There are only two games of the twelve that I think aren't fairly evenly matched. Flip the opponents in those two and you have twelve dogfights.

I agree that the UK/St. Johns game isn't quite the best of matchups; BUT, St. Johns has the number three class in the country coming in. There will be some talent on that team. Just freshman heavy. Anyways, getting to Tennessee- I thought that in these challenges you got a different opponent every season?

I want a good series too... but if they're going to pit us against one of the better teams in the big east, I'd like someone else. Cincy or WVa
