Best College Football Rivalries 2010 – Greatest College Football Rivals
Here is a list of some of the best college football rivalries:
1. Army vs Navy - Although neither of these teams have been what you might call "good" in recent memory, this rivalry takes the top spot for greatest and longest lasting college football rivalry. The first Army-Navy game was held in 1890 and has been played every year for the past 80 years. Navy currently holds the lead in the series, with a 54-49-7 record against Army.
2. Michigan vs Ohio State - If this list was only about modern college football rivalries, this matchup would probably take first place. Everyone knows that Michigan fans and Ohio State fans hate each other on gameday and simply don't like each other every other day of the year. Both of these programs have been perennial powerhouses the past 20 years and are consistently found at the top of the college football polls. Michigan holds an edge at 57-43-6, but the 2010 game will be one of the best games of the season as Ohio State is currently ranked 2nd in the country and Michigan is not far behind. And that Michigan Quarterback Denard Robinson aka Shoelace is a freak of nature.
3. Auburn vs Alabama - This matchup takes third place. The SEC is constantly one of, if not THE, best college football conferences in the country and Auburn and Alabama are almost always in the thick of it. Alabama is currently ranked number 1 in the country after their undefeated season and national championship in 2009. While Auburn is not as strong of a team as they have been last decade, anything can happen when these two teams meet. Alabama currently holds the lead at 40-33-1.
4. Florida vs Georgia - This rivalry could easily be swapped with Auburn and Alabama in 3rd place. Great football programs in an intense SEC rivalry. Georgia holds the series lead at 46-39-2.
5. West Virginia vs Pittsburgh - I don't have any of the historical information about this matchup but I included it because my cousin told me to. These two schools are literally just minutes from each other and thus a natural rivalry was born.
