Iron Bowl 1
Red River 2

FL schools used to be a lot more heated when they were all perennial top ten. Also gets a little watered down with UF being in a seperate conf. than FSU and Miami. Those games used to be epic though.

Arkansas-Texas will move up this "list" in a few years.

Yeah it's a terrible list. As an LSU fan, 8T4 will have to wait in line. Bama, UF, and Ole Miss have a way longer history of bad blood with LSU than they do.

That rivalry changed after 2010, it’s been extremely bitter ever since although Georgia skull dragging Auburn most years means it’s not as close as it used to be

Arkansas doesn't care about this game, either.

We don't care about any game... unless we win it.

Then it was the most important game of the season.

How is Alabama/Auburn only number eight? If there is one thing I've learned in my travels to Alabama those teams simply HATE each other


Not to mention how FSU/Miami is #5.

Half of Miami's "fans" don't even know when football season has started.

No Tennessee-Alabama? Gracious. The Alabama fans on this site maintain that's the best rivalry in sports. Greater than the Yankees vs Red Sox.

Absolutely shitty list. Texas, Aggy, LSU, Old Mrs, Tenner, Aubie and soon Okie will all be more of a rivalry than The Carpetbag Tigers will ever be.

No way the Miami-FSU (#5) rivalry is more "bitter" that Florida-FSU (#12)

In state rivalries are always more bitter than cross state rivalries. Always. Especially when both teams are competent.

Any list that doesn’t have Michigan vs OSU and Bama vs Auburn both in the top 3 is invalid. Everyone who follows college football knows this

The Iron bowl should be #1. Ours is definitely top 5 as it is as far as I know the only one that almost had a full skirmish with guns, swords and such between the two schools.

a little rivalry history:
This occurred in 1902
As was becoming tradition about 400 Clemson cadets stayed on in Columbia after the game to attend the State Fair. It was custom for the cadets to parade around celebrating their victory over South Carolina by wrapping their shoes in garnet and black cloth, the colors of their rivals. In 1902, though, the cadets were forced to behave in a more subdued fashion. The cadets became upset though when a MainStreet tobacco merchant hung a transparency in his window depicting a gamecock crowing over a ragged looking tiger. The South Carolina students soon obtained the transparency and paraded it around the fairgrounds and then up and down Main Street. The Carolina students went even further parading the transparency in the annual State Fair parade on Friday evening. Now thoroughly insulted the Clemson cadets, upon being dismissed at the parade’s end at the State Capitol on Main Street,armed with bayonets and sabers marched the two blocks over to the Sumter Street entrance of the Horse Shoe campus of South Carolina College. Some 30 South Carolina students barricaded themselves behind a hastily constructed low wall armed with pistols, shotguns, and clubs among other weapons. According to the official University of South Carolina history, freshman Rion McKissick, later USC President, was asked by a senior if he was armed, upon replying in the affirmative, McKissick was instructed to “Make every shot count.” School officials defused the situation but the two schools did not play each other again until 1909.

I agree.

While UF-UGA is a strong rivalry, Miami-UF might be more "bitter" even though they only play every few years.
