Note: Because the ACC has two more teams than the SEC, two ACC teams will not participate in the Challenge. This year, SMU and Stanford are not participating in the ACC/SEC Challenge.

The 2023 ACC/SEC Challenge, the first edition of the Challenge between these two conferences, ended in a 7-7 tie, although that outcome initially seemed unlikely.

Thanks to wins by Missouri over Pitt, Kentucky over Miami and Ole Miss over NC State, the SEC initially took a 4-2 lead. But the ACC won the next five games, including Clemson against Alabama, Virginia against Texas A&M, Wake Forest against Florida and North Carolina against Tennessee in a shootout. That gave the ACC a 7-4 lead and only needed one more win to win the Challenge. Instead, the SEC won the final three matches, with Auburn defeating Virginia Tech, Georgia defeating Florida State and Arkansas defeating Duke to salvage a 7-7 tie in the inaugural ACC/SEC Challenge.

The SEC will likely have the upper hand this time, bringing eight teams from the AP Top 25 into the Challenge, compared to just three teams from the ACC. Still, ACC teams managed to win four of five games against SEC teams last year.
