Ohio State vs Michigan.

Sure it's a big deal to those two teams, but for the rest of us in the college football world, this is an overrated rivalry. Even the "big" games turn out to be duds, or just boring Big Ten football type football.

Anyone remember the real big game between the two in like 2005? Where it was a night game #1 vs #2. I was asleep by halftime.

Let's try to keep this rivalry regional to those this means a lot. Please stop trying to tell us how great of a rivalry this is.

Up until 3 years ago they said the same about UO-UW

Yeah, in the last 20 years it hasn’t been a night game and I’m not sure it has ever been a night game. Are you sure you aren’t confusing this with something Channing Tatum?

I actually agree with OD about the answer being OSU-Michigan.

I mean, is it really a rivalry when one team wins every year?

I'm sure there was a time when it was must see tv, but not that interesting when you know the winner beforehand.

Much like Nebraska, this rivalry hasn't been good since the 90s.

It seems like all of the great nationally meaningful rivalries have gone sideways lately. I wonder what is the current most meaningful EVEN national rivalry out there? I cannot think of a single one.

Never go full retard folks.
I'll say it. I'll go full retard. I think Ohio State-Penn State is a more meaningful Rivalry at this point and time. The B1G East and ultimately the B1G Championship runs through this game not through OSU-UM in the CFB Playoff Era. It's not 1970 anymore. Ohio State-Michigan just means more gold pants for the Buckeyes these days! :) O-H!

Ahhh, Penn State has beaten Ohio State twice in the last 10 years. I understand it’s more than Michigan but twice in the last 10 years is terrible for a “rivalry.”
