I would have to say Army/Navy, Iron bowl, Michigan/Ohio State, Red River rivalry and USC/ND

Top 5 in that order

Eh.

Army-Navy is a great and beloved game, but the rivalry aspect is severely overblown. I think it is an American treasure, I just don't think it is much of a rivalry in traditional CFB terms.

The others are reasonable, although USC/ND is largely a nostalgia game rather than something with intensity or importance.

And, those (with exception to Iron Bowl) fall outside the parameters defined in the thread title. All very good rivalries - but one of the teams must be SEC.

I'd almost say the rivalry between Alabama and Tennessee is bigger that the Iron Bowl. Then again, that 30 for 30 said otherwise
