So does a football game that impacts the politics of a state 6 times the size of Alabama make the Lone Star Showdown 6 times as big as the Iron Bowl?
You're still completely missing the point. It's not the size but the intensity of the rivalry, hence my Hatfields and McCoys reference.

Which circles the discussion back to the fact that rivalries are important to those involved in them; ergo, Bama/Aub is the greatest rivalry in the eyes of Alabama folks. Oklahoma/Oke State is the greatest rivalry from an Okie perspective.
Bottom line: Rivalries are pretty great. No need to rank em.

So does Baylor killing a cadet, and Aggie cadets commandeering a howitzer on a rail car in order to turn their campus in to rubble, only to be stopped by the Texas Rangers match anything as intense as the might Alabama/Auburn rivalry?
