re: Bigger Rivalry? Michigan and Ohio State or Auburn and Alabama?

I googled biggest college football rivalries and looked through the lists on the first couple of pages. The Iron Bowl is at or near the top of all of them and ahead of OSU-UM most of the time. And these are lists by national publications/services.

Sure the Iron Bowl has been elevated in prominence the last few years. But even before that I think it was widely considered top 3 along with Army-Navy and OSU-UM

It's the truth though. You knew of OSU/UM in California back in 2000. The iron bowl? Eh, not really. I always just assumed tennessee was alabamas rivalry game

This is perfectly fine. But it just shows that y'all have no idea how to do college football. I lived in Tempe for 2 years. I doubt ASU is a perfect representation of the West coast's love of football, but they were a damn joke. And if I asked them what the best rivalries were, they'd probably say games involving USC ND Michigan and OSU. They are certainly entitled to their opinion, but their opinions of college football were and are complete shite.
