What would you, as a fan, prefer?

What's a bigger rivalry Texas/Oklahoma or Texas/Texas A&M?

IMO probably Texas/OU. But I acknowledge BOTH are REAL rivalries. Your buddy a few pages back was trying to convince the world the iron bowl isn’t a REAL rivalry, lol.

The Iron Bowl is a big rivalry

Alabama v Auburn
Michigan v ohio state
Army v Navy
Harvard v Yale
Texas v Oklahoma
Notre Dame v Southern Cal

You can only have one true rivalry ... the others are fleeting.

We'll agree to disagree. Pretending Aggie/Bevo isn't a "real" rivalry because Texas has a rival in OU is foolish.

tejas/Texas A&M is a 'real' rivalry, but more a regional rivalry where tejas/Oklahoma is a national rivalry between bluebloods.

Depends on the perspective. For Aggie, Texas is their biggest rivalry game. Whereas, Texas views OU as their "one true rival".

Same is probably true with Tennessee and Alabama, Michigan and Michigan St, etc.

I've been to a ton of Rivalry games from the Iron Bowl (3 times) to Cy-Hawk (9 times) and they are all the same to me.

The fact that a particular rivalry is more meaningful Nationally from time to time is only relevant from a National point of view for rankings in a given year: Alabama-Tennessee (3 times). FSU-Miami (3 times), FSU-Florida (2 times), Oklahoma-Nebraska (1 time), USC-ND (1 time), USC-UCLA (1 time), Florida-Georgia (1 time), etc.

However, when the National spotlight goes away, the fans of the two teams still care very much, and the rest of the CFB world really doesn't care that much.

That being said, to me, the Army-Navy Game (1 time) is the most meaningful individual game Rivalry in CFB that I have seen in person. That is the ONLY game I can think of where the winner TRULY would rather have that win than a GREAT season. Army went 12-2, won the American, won their Bowl Game and the Army QB looked somber after the Bowl Win and could only give the "Go Army" without the "Beat Navy" that usually follows, as it was still too painful to say.

Just my onion.

Like the Egg Bowl. Nobody outside of Mississippi cares about it, but they sure as heck do.
Oregon/Oregon St... Same

That is a completely different question. Guarantee to beat scUM every year or a natty year the current year? It doesn't rule out championships in future seasons. Yeah I'm rolling with beating scUM every year as well and I'll sacrifice one natty for the current year.

Stop responding to this click-bait drivel. Dude is using an online poll. It's a joke and he's trolling.
