From 2000-09, one team from that rivalry participated in the national title game 6 times in 10 years.
While I agree it is definitely a big game, LSU/Alabama had 6 appearances over 10 years in the title game as well (2003-2012) resulting in 5 NC's (insane percentage when you consider the only loss was by LSU to Bama), yet there is no name for that game and we aren't even rivals according to Bama fans. 3 other seasons in that stretch, SEC teams won the NC, which would help explain why the LSU/Bama, while huge, is just one of many huge conference games.
I fully expect Texas/OU to add to the list of traditional big SEC games. It should be fun.

The Big 12 has gone so all-in on OU/TX that many of them actually believe the rest of the country sees the game as some sacred moment in every CFB season that everyone looks forward to as a pivotal moment for all of CFB.
It's a good rivalry game, but it's no bigger than any other devent historic rivalry game. The SEC alone has a number of rivalry games already that are equal or bigger than the RRS.
