Top 25 College Football Rivalries  \n  \n \n\n1. Alabama vs Auburn \nSeries Record: Alabama leads 38-31-1   \nTrophy: Omicron Delta Kappa-James E. Foy V Sportsmanship Trophy\nThis college football rivalry is number one as the fire, passion and hate between the two schools is unlike any other. This game literally stops a state. The teams didn't play from 1907 to 1948 because after the 1907 game, they couldn’t decide which referees to use. The trophy for this game isn't as important as the ownership of the state that comes with a win.\n\n\n\n \n\n2. Ohio State vs Michigan\nSeries Record: Michigan leads 58-39-6. \nAward: Ohio State players get a gold charm in the shape of a pair of pants if they win.\nNo rivalry has a better combination of history and championship implications than Michigan vs Ohio State.  Since 1913, the two teams have combined for all or part of 70 Big Ten titles and the have finished 1-2 in the standings 15 times since 1968. \n \n\n \n\n \n\n3. Oklahoma vs Texas\nSeries Record: Texas leads 57-39-5.\nTrophy: The Golden Hat\nKnown as: "The Red River Shootout". The winning team's state is  supposed to get ownership of the Red River for one year until the next game. It's one the few rivalries that are played on a neutral field. These two teams play in Dallas, Texas which is is exactly halfway between the two schools, Austin, Texas, and Norman, Oklahoma.\n\n4. Army vs Navy\nSeries Record: Series tied 49-50-7 \nAward: Gold cloth stars to put on their letter sweaters for victories\nNotes: This game probably has more history and tradition than any other rivalry in the country.

USC vs Notre Dame\nSeries Record: Notre Dame leads 42-31-5  \nTrophy: The Jeweled Shillelagh\nThe winner of this game has gone on to win the national title 19 times, plus these two schools have produced 11 Heisman winners.\n\n6.

USC vs UCLA\nSeries Record: USC leads the series, 38-27-7 \nKnown as: The battle for the Victory Bell\nThe winning team paints the bell in their color to match the gold: blue for UCLA, cardinal for U

Without a doubt the 1971 Nebraska Cornhuskers was by far the greatest college football team in history.  I'm not sure how The Sporting News came up with that one but historically the '71 team could have beaten a half dozen professional teams that year.  Maybe the greatest of all college football games was played that year as well when Nebraska beat Oklahoma in a classic.  Oklahoma had a powerhouse that season as well.  Maybe The Sporting News needs to dig alittle deeper into their vault before clowning the '95 team.  They were good but certainly not the best.

Top 5 rivalries.\n\nCollege:\n1) Ohio State vs. Michigan - Always a good game and almost always determines a Big 10 champion if not a National Championship berth.\n2) Army vs. Navy - Long history.\n3) USC vs. Notre Dame - Again, long history that has been renewed since last season.\n4) Florida vs. Florida State - In state rivalries are always pretty exciting.\n5) Texas vs. Oklahoma - The states hate each other, how great is that formula for a rivalry?  This takes a drop because of OU's lousy season in '05.\n\nHonorable Mention: Florida State vs. Miami (FL); Michigan vs. Michigan State; USC vs. UCLA; Texas vs. Texas A&M; Auburn vs. Georgia; Indiana vs. Purdue\n\nNFL:\n\n1) Packers vs. Bears - Two of the oldest teams in the league and they're in the same division...how great is that?\n2) Cowboys vs. 49ers - All of those NFC Championships in the late '80s into the '90s were always exciting.\n3) Cowboys vs. Redskins - Classic cowboy and indian war.\n4) Raiders vs. Chiefs - I could say the AFC West against the AFC West...this is probably the biggest rivalry of that division.\n5) Browns vs. Steelers - Close proximity of the two cities...they generally hate each other.\n\nHonorable mention: Bengals vs. Browns; Jets vs. Giants; Bills vs. Dolphins; Redskins vs. Eagles\n\nAnd the winner...the all time greatest rivalry in all of football:\n\nOhio State vs. Michigan....no doubt about it.

Michigan, Ohio state is pretty good. But Michigan has greater game right now with more balanced offense defense game. But with ohio state last couple years was very boring to watch. Everything is changing though, with Ohio State finally getting its first a prolific offense now. Their rivalries is always one of the best though.

I'm gonna have to go with the most popular sport in the world on this one. While I think Ohio State vs. Michigan is up there, I'm going to have to go with Real Madrid vs. Barcelona. Many other soccer rivalries could be chosen as well but this one stands out to me because of one game I remember. Figo, an ex-Barcelona player turned Real Madrid player, came back to Barcelona's stadium. While taking a corner kick, the stands showered him with flying objects and curses. Right before he was about to kick, a head of a pig went flying onto the ground next to him. Soccer fans must be the most intense of all sports.
