9) Harvard vs Yale: Northeastern elitists' version of tailgating and a rivalry can be amusing. The MIT students usually have something planned for this one.

I bet the Tailgate Parties have Chablis and Brie..............

USC (I am a proud alum!!!) is hardly “Hollywood” since it’s located in the big, fat, middle of gang territory. And who cares where UCLA is?

That’s a good one, but I already have Florida counted against Georgia. I avoide counting one team twice- hence there’s no Michigan-Notre Dame or Texas-Texas A&M

All of which are more interesting to me than the superbowl. Which is one of the many reasons I am not interested in a college football playoff.

I am so dun with all of these media types (who would make big bucks off of a college playoff) insisting that only college presidents oppose playoffs.

Grew up with the Harvard/Yale game.

Yeah, but USC keeps running commercials that feature Hollywood alumni; and they have a good film school.

FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!!

The perfect excuse not to do ANYTHING around the house, eat fattening foods, and drink beer!!!

It would be worth it just for that!

While Florida / Georgia is a huge game, the rivalry has lost some of it’s luster since the Mighty Gators have won 16 of the last 19 games. But I’m not complaining, mind you.

GO GATORS!!! Beat the ‘Noles and ‘Bama!

Actually FAMU vs Bethune-Cookman is a bigger rivalry...they draw huge crowds in Orlando for that one

BYU-Utah...the Holy War...is bigger than Notre Dame-BYU..and BYU-Utah is the biggest rivalry in the Rockies

Clemson-South Carolina is traditionally a nasty game...and a big post0game fight a few yrs ago led to Lou Holtz getting pushed out

Texas-Texas A&M is huge...do they still take the winner to the Chicken Ranch?

Oregon-Oregon State is the better PAC-10 rivalry...the Civil War

And I miss former huge rivalry games like Nebraska-Oklahoma, Penn State-Pittsburgh, and Auburn-Florida

6) Alabama vs Auburn: The Iron Bowl.

Number 6?

Anyone who has lived in Alabama around game time can tell you that this is number 1, without a doubt.
