The only rivalry that has an argument for being ahead of Bama/Auburn is Real Madrid/Barcelona. Yankees/Sox? Lakers/Celtics? GTFO here. Those teams aren't obsessed with each other 365 days a year like Bama/Auburn are. UNC/Duke is a better rivalry than Yankees/Sox and Lakers/Celtics.

I really think that college rivalries are a lot more intense than pro rivalries. Go to a pro-game, and its almost nothing but the home team. On a good rivalry game in college, I think at least a third of the crowd should be from the opposing team. That's what makes college football so special really.

I would rank Celtics/Lakers, Cowboys/Skins', Notre Dame/USC etc. waaaaay down the list. You cannot possibly tell me those rivalries are equal to that of teams who are in the same or bordering states. No sir..

Yanks/Redsox, Giants/Eagles, Alabama/Auburn, Ohio State/Michigan, Texas/Oklahoma, Packers/Bears/Vikings, Duke/North Carolina, and so on.... All great rivalries. Outside of the New York, Jersey, Philly markets I think college rivalries are way more intense than any pro rivalry.
