What are the most significant rivalries in college football?

[iowajerms]

Army-Navy? - Oldest in FBS
Harvard-Yale? - Oldest in all of D-1
Lafayette-Lehigh? - Most played in all of D-1
Minnesota-Wisconsin? - Most played in FBS

I think these are games that gave college football rivalries the excitement they are today. This is not what is the most intense rivalry. It's not what is the closest rivalry. There are tons of rivalries to choose from in college football. A lot of them has awesome beginnings. But which rivalries are the most significant in college football?

all of those rivalries are irrelevant right now, so...

 

[BigAppleBadger]

None of those matter right now.

He's an Iowa fan, what's the difference?

Didn't know Minnesota and Wisconsin were rivals, much less the most played in FBS. Interesting.

They haven't beat us in a while.

ASU and UA play for the Territorial Cup which is the oldest rivalry trophy in college football starting in 1899 when ASU was a teacher's college called Tempe Normal.

Florida/Georgia......................The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party...............played at a neutral site, with an even amount of fans from both teams.

true, but the state of Arizona has not recognized football as a sport until about 1994. Maybe baseball and basketball is better suited for the Territorial Cup.

Yes, a very important game that is usually the determining factor for who is the cellar dweller of the SEC West.

None of them are significant to anyone but those involved.

 

[podsox]

No rivalry is important unless it involves teams in the title hunt imo

 

[Wazmankg]

Of those 4, Army-Navy is the only one of interest to anyone outside of the schools involved. Around here it's still UM-OSU. Every region has their favorites and national interest varies based upon how good the respective teams are.

This could have been a decent thread - had there been a relevant option attached to it.
