THIS IS INSANE!!! LOOK AT THE #'s
- Before you go spouting your favorite teams, check out some stats. MAIMI - FSU is the GREATEST rivalry period. Since 1980, the average score for a MIAMI - FSU game is 24-22, that is unheard of. Also, Between 1983 and 2002, the Hurricanes and Seminoles combined to win 7 national championships and play in a whopping 14 national championship games. And Lastly, the TV ratings say it all, no other rivalry comes close in TV ratings. The 2006 game between Miami and FSU was the most-viewed college football game, regular season or bowl, in the history of ESPN, averaging 6,330,000 million households in viewership (6.9 rating). It was also the second-highest rated game in ESPN history, behind only the 1994 game between Miami and FSU, which notched a 7.7 rating Not sure why the MIAMI - FSU rivalry gets left out but the numbers are pretty ridiculous. THe Games are ALWAYS close and there is a legitimate hatred between the two schools.

The Big Game
- Let's not forget about Cal vs. Stanford, the rivalry that produced 'The Play' in 1986, the best comeback win ever. These two schools are also huge academic rivals in the SF Bay Area, both having produced dozens of Nobel Laureates. These might not be the biggest programs and it's been a long time since either won a National Championship, but it is a very healthy rivalry, and no matter how good or bad each school's program is doing, both step up to fight for The Axe.

College Football's Greatest Rivalry
- Oh, please .... the greatest rivalry? Whomever Tennessee is playing on Saturday. Go Vols! :D (with particular heat arising from U.T. - 'Bama and U.T.-Vandy encounters, of course). Kari (who personally witnessed Tennessee's historic, final quarter toppling of Bear Bryant's unbeaten streak).

Not so "known"
- Ole Miss- LSU...it isn't really a big time rivalry I suppose but if you ask anybody in either state who they would pick if they could only win 1 game, they would pick this one. This past season it was re-named the Magnolia Bowl, which should add to the luster and bitterness since their is actually a trophy at stake. These are two huge party schools, so the weekend always involves alot of heaving partying which of course adds to the hatred. I'll say in 6 years this will be one of the top 10-15 in the country.
