i agree 100% that the OSU, Michigan game is the number 1 rivalry. it's one thing to have a state divided by two teams, but it's a whole other level when you've got 1 state that completly hates another. it's not just two weeks before and after the game though. it's all year, every year. just because people don't get shot or aren't from the south doesn't take away from the fact that it is the biggest rivalry in college football.

By far the 2 best rivalries in the nation are Clemson vs. South Carolina & the Iron Bowl because of the pure hatred between these schools. Many people might laugh at the Clemson/South Carolina one, but if you ever visit the state of South Carolina in the week before the game, it is intense. There is no sitting on the fence, you are either a gamecock or a tiger.

Even though it's definately overshadowed by the Ohio State - Michigan rivalry, the next best rivalry in Ohio is the Bowling Green - Toledo game. With these two cities only 20 Miles apart, the Battle of I-75, in the past three years, would decide who would play in the MAC Championship Game.

Alabama/Auburn the best rivalry! Please. It is no contest. The experts on this top 10 list got it right when they put Ohio State/Michigan as number 1. No other rivalry has meant more to college football than this one.
The Montana and Montana State rivalry shold definatly be on this list. Saturday will be there 105 meeting, thats a rivalry 105 years in the making, the two schools totally hate eachother and the game is sure to be an amazing one. They fight for the reputation of the school. Every one in the state has a favorite team it's like the "superbowl" for MONTANA.

Tech vs. UVA - not known much outside VA, but its a HUGE instate rivalry
Tech vs. Miami - grown bigger recently with both teams being damn good
come on guys how bout some of the oldest in the game Wisconsin vs Minnesota-Oldest Rivalry game in country
Michigan vs Minnesota-Oldest Rivalry Trophy in the country
BYU vs. Utah is absolutely one of the best rivalries ever. The hatred is intense and the games extremely nerve racking. The Boys in Blue rule and will die for the Y. Hey Ute (Post #35), quite trying to be a wanna-be intellectual by picking on a junior high kid. Bring it on! Why are there hardly any fans at Rice Eccles unless BYU shows up. They are there out of hate for the team that every one loves to hate, not out of love for their team. BYU rocks, Utes are nothing, go back to your Gay clubs at the U.

Not one of the most exciting football rivalry games to watch, Purdue lately is a dominating force on the football field to the Hoosiers. But in winter, the Hoosiers come alive on the hard court, winning out against the Boilermakers. Even during the year out of the football and basketball seasons, alumni and fans for both schools feud.

Dude...What about "The 3rd Saturday in October"?Tennessee/Alabama is the South's oldest rivalry!!! Bear Bryant said that he would rather beat Tennessee than Auburn any day. I know the Iron Bowl is huge, but this one is definitely as big as they come when you're talking about old school rivalries. For the last 15 years none have been more intense or more significant than Tennessee v. Florida as well. I'm not even a Tennessee fan, but I can't believe they're not even being mentioned. If Tennessee would've won ten games like normal this year, I bet those games would be getting their due.

What a school. The game is played at a neutral site, Jacksonville, Florida. It's a very special game with as many Dawg fans as there are Gators (and yes, Spurrier did enjog beating Gearogia 11 out of 12 times!)

Kansas VS Mizzou
2nd oldest rivalry alltime
this isnt a once a year deal, Missourians and kansas wankers hate each other 24/7/365. the hatred goes deep and back to the early 1800's.
there is an old saying in missouri, the only good kansas native, is a dead kansas native.
not a flashy matchup, or top team matchup, but definately more hatred in the game than any of those other rivals. people were killed in the border war in early 1800 in the name of each state! Missourians burned Lawrence to the ground, while Jayhawkers murdered innocent missourians.
The Auburn Georgia rivalry is the most overlooked rivalry in college football. Because Georgia Tech is in the ACC, this is Georgia's finale in the SEC and has determined their championship hopes so many times I've lost count. Many, many Auburn players, heralded recruits, come from Georgia, so there's an extra incentive there for those recruits. Auburn blemished Georgia's national championship season in 1942, when Georgia won the Rose Bowl. Auburn ended Georgia's three year undefeated SEC winning streak in 1983. Georgia's tie against Auburn in 1994 ended a two year undefeated run by Auburn. New Georgia fans hate Florida. Old Georgia fans like me hate Auburn.

I have one issue in regards to this list's interpretation of rivalries. Having two rivals diminishes the the nature of a rivalry, making both rivalries less strong.
On this list Notre Dame, Florida State, Florida, USC are all mentioned twice which means that one of their rivalries is diminished by the other and should probably not be on the list. There are smaller rivalries which are actually much more fierce such as BYU-Utah, or Maryland-Virginia which should be on the list, but aren't because they are not in the spotlight as much.
Since Notre Dame seems to be a bigger rival of USC than UCLA, take off the USC-UCLA rivalry and throw in the Holy War. Come to Utah, and you'll understand. Go Cougs
