Since Duke/UNC get together tonight, what do ya'll think is the biggest of all the college rivalries (nationally)?

Meredith vs. Peace

sport-fucking

2/7/2006 6:28:13 PM

Football:
1. Michigan vs OSU
2. Alabama vs Auburn

Basketball:
1. NCSU vs UNC
2. Duke vs UNC

2/7/2006 6:29:21 PM

Football:
West Virginia - Pitt
Michigan - Michigan State (have no excitement over OSU but I dig the non-state/state matchup)

Basketball:
NC State - UNC
Duke - UNC

2/7/2006 6:32:44 PM

Harvard v. Yale

2/7/2006 6:33:27 PM

UM definitely looks down on MSU much like UNC looks down on us. Their relationship with OSU is more like a UNC/Duke one I think (if they're comparable at all...)

2/7/2006 6:33:52 PM

everyone who says ncsu vs. unc-ch is a moron

2/7/2006 6:34:31 PM

I'll add Army v. Navy

2/7/2006 6:35:16 PM

In football, Georgia-Florida is up there. Maybe not a high as Michigan-OSU in terms of media coverage, but growing up a Georgia fan, living in Florida, this rivaly is as intense as any.

2/7/2006 6:48:08 PM

UNC vs. Weber St.

2/7/2006 6:49:50 PM

RED RIVER SHOOTOUT

2/7/2006 6:54:30 PM

Florida-Tennessee in football. Hell now its started in bball too since Tennessee is good.

2/7/2006 6:56:02 PM

UNC vs Santa Clara

2/7/2006 6:58:21 PM

NCSU vs. NCSU fans

2/7/2006 7:00:22 PM

the Red River Shootout is the Duke/Maryland of college football... it's only cared about when they're both on top and it's not the one the real fans care about

2/7/2006 7:00:28 PM

Clemson-South Carolina is pretty good. Even though both aren't really any good at anything. They "fight" it out everytime.

2/7/2006 7:01:07 PM

2/7/2006 7:08:38 PM

i come from 'Bama stock, so yeah

i miss when they played at Legion Field and they had the crowd evenly split

2/7/2006 7:08:42 PM

All of these rivalries are relative so it's not like anyone is gonna reach a conclusion.

Like Duke/UNC used to not be as big before the ESPN hype... but i guarentee lots of people out west dont care about that game at all.


it's all relative

So? The Mich/Mich State game is always a great one. It's a similar rivalry to NCSU/UNC in that everyone wants to claim "that other rivalry" as #1 until the game comes around, in which it's a dogfight every single time. Plus, I like the Spartans

2/7/2006 7:09:12 PM

so what exactly is the reason they dont play at legion field anymore? i havent been paying very close attention to bama football in a little while

2/7/2006 7:11:31 PM

legion field- old and run down.

2/7/2006 7:12:55 PM

true

but its only one game a year

2/7/2006 7:15:41 PM

ahh ok, ive been to a game there before when i was young, but that was the last bama game i ever went to...think it may have been the year of the national championship...i do seem to remember david palmer running around all over the field. my mind is gone for some reason

2/7/2006 7:15:51 PM

football
Texas/Texas A&M
Alabama/Auburn
Florida State/Miami
Florida/Georgia
Michigan/Ohio State

basketball
duke/unc (ever since media hype)
ncsu/unc (before media hype)
kentucky/louisville
f' it I don't know basketball rivalries as well

2/7/2006 7:39:14 PM

I thought the games were played at Legion Field because Alabama refused to play at Auburn for a bunch of years?

2/7/2006 7:45:42 PM

i'm pretty sure they started playing there b/c it was a "neutral" site.

2/7/2006 7:50:16 PM

Football: OU/Texas
Miami/FSU
Notre Dame/USC
Clemson/South Carolina
Alabama/Tennessee

2/7/2006 8:08:44 PM

Wlfpk4Life, first of all you're an idiot for not listing the biggest rivalry in all of college football. OHIO STATE/MICHIGAN. other than that u forgot another big one ARMY/NAVY, most intense fan wise.

b-ball is no contest. DUKE/unc w/o a doubt, and anyone who doesn't think so needs to take their own life.

2/7/2006 8:13:28 PM

yeah i'd say he got you wlfpck

2/7/2006 8:14:17 PM

state v carolina is not even close to a big bball rivalry anymore

unc duke is top

and south carolina and clemson is huge too

2/7/2006 8:14:53 PM

any ideas besides college?

2/7/2006 8:16:05 PM

sox/yanks

celts/lakers

steelers/raiders or cowboys/skins

2/7/2006 8:17:53 PM

tiger woods vs. pga tour

2/7/2006 8:19:03 PM

i think the USC - UCLA rivalry is pretty big

2/7/2006 8:32:16 PM

i think alabama vs. tennesse is bigger than alabama vs. auburn
i know its an instate rivalry but tennessee/alabama has more history
my dad is a huge tennesse fan and he hates alabama more than anything

2/7/2006 8:32:45 PM

damn uppity noobs

people at carolina will go so far as to claim its not a rivalry at all (though they know it is and dont act like its not)

2/7/2006 8:36:40 PM

ECU VS NCSU NO DOUBT

2/7/2006 8:39:22 PM

UNC/Duke

2/7/2006 8:39:51 PM

NC State/UNC is a one sided hate fest. State fans hat UNC, UNC couldn't give a shit.
1. Duke/UNC
---------------
100. The Big 5
101. Mich/OSU
102. Texas/OU
There is no comparison to Duke/UNC

2/7/2006 8:41:37 PM

^no

2/7/2006 8:43:38 PM

i thought i heard earlier that duke has won 15 out of the last 18 against unc, does anyone know the latest w/l for the last few years? that would help define it as a rivalry. fo sho
