what rivalry do you think is the best?
here my top 10 in no particular order...

Texas v. Oklahoma, USC v. Notre Dame, Ohio St. v. Michigan, Army v. Navy, Miami v. FSU, Florida v. FSU, UGA v. Florida, Alabama v. auburn, Alabama v. Tennesee, Clemson v. South Carolina

I have never been to any other rivalry game other than Texas-Oklahoma and have had the pleasure of watching 5 of these games. These games are so intense the players are throwing up before the game and the people in the stand have very few fingernails left. I have never been to a sporting event that was so intense.
I think the field has a lot to do with it. The Cotton Bowl is very small, straight up. You feel like you are right on top of the players. Its not like Ann Arbor where there are about 5 miles to the field with over 100,000 thousand people. Its like a giant high school rivalry in a tiny gym. You cant hear anything and you are right on top of the court.

And the amazing thing is its 50/50. Half the stadium orange, half the stadium red. No homefield in Dallas. It really is an incredible event.
