No offense, but I don't think anyone gives a flying F what your's is.

General consensus among knowledgeable sports fans would have it top 5.

Biggest rivalry in 'Sports' and biggest rivalry in 'American Sports' is 2 totally different things. You may not like the sport but there are soccer rivalries in Europe and south America that would laugh at this.

Beat me to it. I wish we cared more about it. I'm sick of being the Kentucky/South Carolina/Vandy of soccer.

Sarcastic post was sarcastic. We're talking college sports and he invents a debate about world sports.

Hard to see the sarcasm in the comment since more than half the board probably agrees with what you said. Apologies.

He doesn't think UM-O$U is a rivalry because the fans are overweight. Why that guy brought up soccer is beyond me.

It's a pretty big deal here in Michigan. Michigan has an elitist attitude toward the Buckeyes and thinks that Ohio is a trash heap, while the Buckeyes view Michigan as a a bunch of pompous morons who have a fanbase that consists largely of arrogant people who have no shot of ever even getting in to the school. It's a great rivalry with a lot of history of hate. There's a lot of hostility involved, and cross-state pride is a great element of the game.

However, having lived here for a few years, it's a step below SEC Rivalries. I've been fortunate enough to live in several areas, and these games I'd say have more hate in them:
1. Texas-Oklahoma
2. Alabama-Auburn
3. Alabama-Tennessee
4. Mississippi State-Ole Miss (laugh at their "suckiness" if you will, but they REALLY hate each other)
5. Texas-TexasA&M (shame this one is ending)

Just my two cents. Also, on a weekly basis, the SEC is ten times more into everything football related. It's an awesome game that I'm glad to have experienced here in Michigan. However, I'd say the main reason it's so storied is because of its historical aspect; the SEC teams are more insane in an evil way.

Bama - Tenn is only a top 5 rivalry to Tenn fans.

I'm not talking about which one has more prestige. I'm talking strictly from the standpoint of "these two teams and their fans want to rip each other's heads off" standpoint. Michigan and Ohio State is, traditionally, an extremely prestigious rivalry. Always will be. However, I will say that the animosity between Tennessee and Alabama exceeds that of Michigan and Ohio State in my personal experience. The fans of these two teams stand out as more spiteful. Again, I'm comparing only personal experiences. Prestige-wise, UT-Bama doesn't hold a candle to UM-OSU.

I think it's the best rivalry in American sports, and if they Big 10 expands again, I hope the two end up in the same division.

I dont think they will ever change divisions. Part of the arrogance of putting them in different divisions is the feeling that they are the two best programs in the conference and putting them in the same division would weaken the conference championship game. (there was an assumption that they would be playing against each other in the champ. game....often)

I hope they both rot in hell.

A few responses to the last page or two:

1. Ohio IS a trash heap. Once you're north of Columbus (which semi-sucks too), you're in no-man's land.
2. At the very least, it's a top five or top three CFB rivalry.
3. That one guy didn't seriously say FSU-Miami was a great rivalry, right?

Ive got family that were born and raised in and around Columbus and they are huge Buckeye fans, Columbus isn't that bad. I do agree about north of Columbus though, Toledo has to be the trashiest city i have ever seen in my life. Northern Ohio is a dump compared to the southern part of that state.
