If I was 10 yrs old, I’d say Vandy/ Tennessee.

Vanderbilt owned us until 1926 and we owned them for the next 90+ years following. They're due a few wins.

In all seriousness, even when the series has been lopsided (which is 90 percent of the last 90+ years) it has been a heated game. It's not a great rivalry for outside spectators but because the game is usually the last game of the year the players, especially on Vandy's side go all out. Some of the most vicious football hits and general ish I've witnessed has been at UT-Vandy games.
