re: I get so tired of hearing about how great the Michigan and OSU rivalry is.

1. Iron Bowl
2. Egg Bowl
3. UF vs FSU
4. Clemson vs USCe

That just keeping it to games played on this weekend and also keeping it to SEC teams.

Big 10 football is boring so you watch it.

I didn’t say that Army or Navy would beat either Michigan or OSU. I’m saying it’s a better game based on the way the fans care plus it can be a very entertaining game most likely. All these teams I listed you can throw out records but typically these rivalry games run hot between the fans. Just as hot if not more hot than Michigan and OSU. I will throw you a bonus game. Texas A@M and LSU has become a pretty good rivalry since A@M joined the SEC.

It’s boring as hell.

This, the media will make this the “greatest” rivalry because they can and do make the most money off it.

I’m biased, but from a pure football entertainment perspective I think the Egg Bowl beats it easily. Fans hate each other, half the time they fight, it’s usually a good game that’s no stranger to big upsets, and the general antics that make for memes that last years….but the market for two Mississippi teams playing is probably 1/0th that of Michigan/OSU.

OSU/Michigan is a great rivalry. Whether deserved or not, both teams are usually highly ranked going into the game, and there are usually at least conference if not national championship implications depending on the outcome. It may not have the sheer vitriol of an Iron Bowl or a Clemson/USC, but it's probably the greatest interstate rivalry in the sport.

It’s the best rivalry in football. Sorry that hurts your feelings.

The media telling you this doesn’t make it true

Dude you do not get it. We do not root for our rivals in a bowl game. We root for the SEC in bowl games and there is a big difference. We know the SEC is most likely gonna be judged on its W-L record in bowl games and big OOC games. If the SEC does well in both situations the perception nationally is that the SEC is the best and strongest conference so that could get 2 SEC teams into the playoffs in which we hope our teams are one of them. If it’s close getting just one in that national perception could make the difference. Plus fans of the SEC are proud of the fact we play in the toughest conference and do not run from hard games. That’s why you hear the SEC chant after big bowl wins.

Interesting. You joined four days before Buckl. Not interesting at all.

Army vs navy better than Michigan vs OSU this a real comment ? This can’t be real. I don’t believe a human with a brain can think this.

If you do not think alArmy and Navy is a huge rivalry game you have no brain. There is a lot of passion connected to that game and it’s very unique. You should watch sometime and learn something l.
