Biggest Rivalry In College Football

(Woody and Bo. May they rest in peace.)

I was perusing through Facebook, like always, and there is a debate going on about what the biggest rivalry in college football is. Of course Ohio State vs. Michigan (The Game) comes to mind. In my opinion it is. By the way that game is on ABC @ Noon on November 17th this year if you needed to know. Others have chosen Texas vs. Oklahoma (Red River Shootout), Nebraska vs. Oklahoma, Texas vs. Texas A&M (Lone Star Showdown), Army vs. Navy, Iowa vs. Iowa State, Florida vs. Georgia (The World's Largest Cocktail Party), etc. etc. etc.

Then there is the one that some put in front of Ohio State vs. Michigan. Auburn vs. Alabama (The Iron Bowl). Quoted from Wiki (another place I peruse all day),

"The deep-seated football rivalry between Alabama and Auburn has historically
spilled over into the politics and society of the state of Alabama. As is
typical of such games, it is usually scheduled to be the final regular-season
game for each team and is always played in late November."

It is a rivalry where each school couldn't even agree on when the game was played. They even had to suspend the game for 41 years. It was deeper than what happened on the field. A lot of rivalries are of course. The Ohio State vs. Michigan rivalry could of spun from the Toledo War.

So what is the best rivalry in college football? If you want to visit the facebook debate click on this link.

In recent years, well not too recently since both teams are bad this year, FSU vs. Miami is the one that has meant the most in the National Championship picture.
