McGraw reportedly told fans at an event yesterday that ND will play at Mich St in this fall's challenge (I suppose someone thought it would be cute to have Reimer face her former team).

Has anyone learned any of the other matchups yet?

Muffet's probably just happy she doesn't have to play Wis this year. She really does not like to play against her former assistants and had to face Penn St and Oh St in recent challenge matchups. With Tsipis now at Wiscy, that matchup is inevitable soon.

After years of facing a 1/2/3 of the BIG, I'm sure Duke will be meeting a team in the bottom half now. Or be left out since ACC has more teams. Will take a little while for a new coach to rebuild a competitive team. I'm assuming we'll have a new coach before next season. No new news on that front.

I thought it was a lottery type thing...but could be wrong.

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that there is some way that they try to get the games competitive.

Maybe coaches submit teams that they'd like to play and the conferences go from there. Although I can't see Muffet wanting to play OSU with the ND connections.

I'm wondering if some of this was in the works before Taya transferred.

ND has played MD, OSU and now MSU.

PSU, MD, tOSU, and now MSU.

Half of her games in the series have been against former assistants.

If you have an extensive coaching tree, it's bound to happen. Most coaches kind of enjoy it, in a weird way. Gives them a chance to see how their proteges are doing.
