Alabama/Auburn blows Michigan/O.S. out of the water.

Of course it does, if you are a bama or auburn fan. For the rest of the nation, it's ohio state/michigan. Look at the poll. You think they just made that up?

For the forseeable future the Iron Bowl is going to a far greater game with much more at stake than Michigan/Ohio State.

not to mention, its a greater rivalry period

I think that the population of Michigan+Ohio State > The population of Alabama.

Agree but the media hypes them more and it's what people in NY, LA, SF etc... are exposed to.

not even in the top 50.
It's not listing a top five either. It's asking which of these is the best.
like check out my poll.

Your state of Mississippi seems to think so

Actually, for the rest of the nation, it's Red Sox v. Yankees. Only Michigan and Ohio found UM/OSU to be the most important rivalry, predictably enough.
And, when considering that both Michigan and Ohio are larger states than Alabama (and larger schools than Alabama or Auburn), there's going to be a natural statistical bias there.

there's much more to a rivalry than what's at stake. Look how long the Red Sox sucked for and their rivalry with the Yankees is considered unmatched

Yep
Homer poll. More population = more votes
