Note: Due to the ACC having 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, though that outcome did not seem likely at first.

The SEC initially jumped out to a 4-2 lead thanks to wins by Missouri over Pitt, Kentucky over Miami, and Ole Miss over NC State. But the ACC proceeded to win the next five matchups, including Clemson beating Alabama, Virginia downing Texas A&M, Wake Forest outlasting Florida, and North Carolina beating Tennessee in a shootout. That gave the ACC a 7-4 lead, needing only one more win to win the Challenge. Instead, the SEC rallied to win the last three matchups, with Auburn taking down Virginia Tech, Georgia beating Florida State, and Arkansas defeating Duke to salvage a 7-7 draw in the inaugural ACC/SEC Challenge.

The SEC will likely have the upper hand this time around, bringing eight teams ranked in the AP Top 25 into the Challenge as compared to just three ranked teams for the ACC. With that said ACC teams did manage to win four of the five games against the SEC's nationally ranked teams last year.
