Rankings matter little in a true rivalry.
That's part of what makes rivalries so much fun.
David can knock off Goliath and have an entire year to crow about it.
Surely a South Carolina fan understands what I'm talking about.
Rankings always matter in rivalries. It's part of the dynamic ... it's part of the motivation.
Regardless of the rivalry, nine times out of ten the best team still wins. That's just a fact.
Show me otherwise and I'll give cudos to you.
Now, do upsets happen in rivalry games? Sure they do but not often, very rarely.

As a Florida fan, I must also include our rivalry with FSU because it's another school that UF has to navigate. I get jeers from people boasting about how UF has never had an undefeated/untied season but what other team plays so many other top ranked opponents???
UF and FSU were both ranked teams for the 21st time since 1990. In 14 of those games they were both ranked in the Top 10. In nine of those games at least one was ranked in the Top 2.
