It's the SEC/ACC challenge.
I always give the SEC top billing.

In the ACC/SEC Challenge.

Interesting that they took a game that was already contracted to happen as part of the home-and-home from last year and made it the SEC/ACC challenge game. UT was supposed to travel for that event this year since they had ND at home last year. I wonder if the scheduled trips to Colorado and Memphis are happening or if they’ve been pushed back for Kim to settle her roster/program.

Why would we push back Colorado or Memphis? Those are both good games that we are very likely to win.

Colorado lost almost everything from last season so it won’t be the same quality win, but will be a great game against a well coached team.

Memphis is Memphis and there is no reason we shouldn’t blow them out of the water.

My point was that now that one of the “known” things on the schedule, a road game in the SEC/ACC Challenge, is not known after all and was replaced by something that was already scheduled, I wonder if other things we knew about the schedule are still true.

Makes more sense. I had interpreted that you felt those might be “too much.” My bad

No, if both of those are played as scheduled, my evaluation is the same as yours. Colorado lost a lot, but it would probably still be a quad one nonconference win. Memphis won’t be great, but you get the RPI boost of doing it on the road. If I had to guess, both will stay.

Dawn gets a home rematch with #11 Duke. Funny how SC always draws a team from the much hated tobacco road. If you know our history you'd understand the vitriol that exists between SC and those teams.

Tennessee bought out the Colorado game per the News Sentinel.

Colorado will not be a quad 1 win for anyone. Now in the big 12 which is questionable and lost everything. They are more thank likely a sub .500 team this season. I live in Colorado and attend games.

Last two seasons were the best teams we have had since the early 2000s. JR lost everything to graduation or the portal and unfortunately was not able to pick up the pieces she would need to remain competitive.

Cancelling the CO game was a practical and a wellbeing matter. It costs a lot to travel a team and support staff, and it taxes the team’s energy. If we were playing another team out that way, it might be worth the trip.
