re: Rank your school's rivalries

As a life-long Alabama fan, the top 2 for me are Tennessee and Auburn (and in that order, despite the intense hatred for little brother). The #3 SEC rival is a function of current events generally, with LSU holding the spot for the majority of the Saban era, but Georgia coming into play since Kirby got there. The problem with that is the irregular scheduling unless it occurs in the post season. MSU is the most frequent opponent of all, and Ole Miss is also one that has a little emotion to it.

Outside of the conference, Notre Dame is on a lot of lists, obviously. Georgia Tech was a hated rival before they scurried away from the competitive nature of the SEC in the 60's. Penn State was a fixture on the schedule for a decade at the end of the Bryant era and became a respectful rivalry for the most part.
