Let me break it down for you... Not only is this a late-season #1 vs. #2 matchup. It's also the biggest rivalry in all of college football. And on top of all that, the winner goes directly to the national title game.neither team has played particularly well in every game. it's not as if they're two offensive juggernauts. they're doing just enough to win so far.

All things considered, this is probably one of the biggest regular season games in the history of college football. Possibly THE biggest regular season game, ever.
There is no way to overhype it.
How many rivalries are as heated? In all reality, Alabama-Auburn is the only other football rivalry on that emotional level. But I can't remember too many times at all in a long while where a lot rides on the Iron Bowl... One of th teams is usually not doing too well. So any other games where as much consistently rides on the line? FSU-Miami, USC-Notre Dame...While it may be a great match-up, 1 versus 2. Calling it the biggest rivalry in college football is more of a personal opinion.
Alabama-Auburn is the biggest rivalry, end of story. Sorry. I know This one is big, but it is a border rivalry... the Iron Bowl is a BLOOD rivalry. This game has been WAY over-hyped. In fact, you did it again in this post.Let me break it down for you... Not only is this a late-season #1 vs. #2 matchup. It's also the biggest rivalry in all of college football.

Not me. My butt will be in my padded seatback at Commonwealth to watch the Cats throttle Lousiana Directional Tech U.
