The SEC throttled the ACC in the latest ‘Challenge’

Posted Dec 7, 2024
They call it the SEC/ACC Challenge but it wasn’t much of a challenge for the SEC this year. The thing ended in a 14-2 bloodbath in favor of the SEC. Overall, the SEC is 26-3 against the ACC this year. The only losses were the two in the Challenge and LSU lost to Pitt. “I do think the financial resources are a big deal,” Alabama coach Nate Oats told reporters. (Zag's Blog)
