It's ACC/Big Ten Challenge week, always a fun week. The official winner will be declared after Wednesday's results, but it should be noted the Big Ten is 3-0 vs. the ACC thus far this season (Illinois over Maryland, Minnesota over North Carolina, Wisconsin over Boston College).
My picks? I'll go with a 7-4 Big Ten victory, keyed by a 4-1 advantage in Tuesday's games.

Clemson over Michigan

Northwestern over Georgia Tech
Ohio State over Florida State

Week 3 Team of the Week: UConn -- It's gotta' be the Kemba Walker-led Huskies after an impressive championship run at the Maui Invitational. Wins against Wichita State, Michigan State & Kentucky all should look good on the Huskies' resume at the end of the season.
Week 3 Team of the Weak: Texas Tech -- Losses to St. Mary's and South Florida at the South Padre Island Invitational certainly don't bode well for Red Raiders head coach Pat Knight. Granted, there's no shame in losing to St. Mary's, but this program clearly is going nowhere fast.
