ACC/SEC Challenge was an unmitigated disaster for the ACC, which limped to a 2-14 mark in the second year of the challenge. It portended the doom that was to come for the ACC, which had just one of its four teams survive the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Somewhat surprisingly, the third ACC representative in Dauster's top 25 is not Duke's archrival, UNC, but is another Tobacco Road school. He ranks the NC State Wolfpack, entering the first season of the Will Wade era and enjoying a relatively formidable roster for the program, at No. 25 overall.

The matchups for the third annual ACC/SEC Challenge were announced Wednesday, highlighted on the men's side by Duke hosting reigning national champions Florida and multiple potential top-10 matchups on the women's side.
