In what figures to be a matchup of two top ten teams, North Carolina will travel to Bloomington on Nov. 27 to face Indiana in the signature game of the 2012 ACC/Big Ten Challenge. The meeting will be the first between the two powerhouse programs since 2005.

The complete lineup of games for the 14th installment of the event appears as follows:

Tuesday, Nov. 27

Minnesota at Florida State
North Carolina at Indiana
NC State at Michigan
Maryland at Northwestern
Iowa at Virginia Tech
Nebraska at Wake Forest

Wednesday, Nov. 28

Purdue at Clemson
Ohio State at Duke
Georgia Tech at Illinois

After dropping the first 10 editions of the challenge, the Big Ten has reeled off three straight victories over the ACC and appears to be the stronger conference once again heading into next season. After squeaking out 6-5 victories in both 2009 and 2010, the Big Ten rolled to an 8-4 title over the ACC last season.
