We’re back with part two of our ACC-Big Ten Challenge predictions and a quick glance at how we performed in part one of our predictions.

The last two days of the ACC-Big Ten Challenge begins Wednesday night as the ACC looks to win their second straight challenge.

On Monday we predicted each of the first seven games of the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. Our overall prediction for the challenge through the first seven games was the ACC would take a commanding 6-1 lead over the Big Ten.

After review, we were correct on all but two predictions, but got the overall head-to-head record of 6-1 correct. Here’s a quick glance at each of our first seven predictions and the actual results.
