I thought it would be nice if the ACC and SEC had annual match ups for each of their respective teams. I came up with this list and some possible titles for these hypothetical "ACC/SEC" rivalry games. Just some light humor.
Alabama vs Miami "NCAA Probation Cup"
Auburn vs UVA "Battle of the Orange and Blue"
Arkansas vs Pitt "New Backyard Brawl" (Because Arkansas is a good substitute for West Virginia)
Ole Miss vs UNC "Cotton vs Tobacco Bowl"
Miss St. vs NC St. "The State Bowl"
Georgia vs Georgia Tech "Bullies and Nerds"
Kentucky vs Duke "The Big Dance....bowl"
Tennessee vs VT "Battle for the Moonshine Mason Jar" or "Skoal Bowl"
Vanderbilt vs Wake Forest "You can't afford us!"
Florida vs FSU "Gators and Indians"
South Carolina vs Clemson "Battle for the Palmetto Tree"
Missouri vs Boston College 'Not wanted by our own conference"
LSU vs Syracuse "Cajuns vs Yankees" or "Rich kids vs Poor kids"
Texas A&M vs. Louisville "The Odd Couple"

Sticking with "Skoal Bowl" for Tennessee-Virginia Tech
How about "The Battle for a bottle of moonshine and a can of Skoal"?
Sounds like a schmoke and a pancake.
The Auburn UVA match up would be good because the founder of the Auburn football program was a UVA alum and that is why they are the same colors. So it would be like "Son beats up Father bowl" or something like that. haha
You all know what I think of this.
Kentucky vs. Duke - The Big Dance Bowl just to sell more tickets
I changed the name of the match up for Duke and Kentucky based on your recommendation. Too funny.
us vs. Tennessee should just be 'Battle for the Mason Jar'
called the Moonshine Bowl
and this is the trophy for the winner
mmm, got some lightning in the freezer waiting for saturday's tailgate.
Looks like the jug Minnesota plays for.
They play Michigan for the Little Brown Jug. (which isn't little, it is 5 gallons).
In the SC-Clemson game they play for "The Palmetto Bowl".
For ideas see a list of games already named, with their trophies, here:

I didn't know Uva had a rivalry game with F$U playing for the JeffersonEppes Trophy. (Uva currently holds it)
Since it wasn't until recently that they started allowing men to attend either school.
FSU started admitting men after WWII. UVA probably won't start admitting them until after WWIII.
I see what you did there.
I am SO GLAD I'm the only one in my office right now...
That makes me sad for you...
I lost it at Bullies and Nerds, then the Big dance....Bowl happened...3 hours later i'm still laughing
If 3 teams could somehow play in one single game I would make
LSU vs Auburn vs Clemson appear in the
"Winner Keeps the Tiger Mascot" bowl
What about Mizzou? Round robin to determine the ultimate Tiger!
ahh crap I forgot about them...
yea, round robin or 4 team cage battle royal in one game.
Then they get to play ND, cause, you know, they set their own schedule and rules.
Also, there's Memphis.
Memphis is AAC. Just moved from C-USA this season I believe.
Yeah, I was just thinking of teams with the tiger mascot
The Soft Kitty Bowl or the battle for Sheldon's Blanket?
LOL @ BCvMizzou
Also, Tech vs. South Carolina could be the Fowl Bowl (pronounced Full-Bull)
South Carolina v Clemson could also be The Battle for the 10 Story Butt that's Supposed to be a Peach on the Side of I-85 Bowl.
Oh yeah, that thing near Gaffney. Every time I pass that way I find it odd.
All of these are awesome...they need to happen now!
The ultimate would be USCe vs USCw. I can't imagine what names could be made up for that one.
