Conference realignment killed some long-standing rivalries in CFB. Which series do you think should be played every year? I may have missed some, but I think these are the most notable rivalries that either aren't played anymore or aren't played on an annual basis.

Texas vs Texas A&M (Lone Star showdown)
WVU vs Pitt (Backyard Brawl) [is returning]
Colorado vs Nebraska
Oklahoma vs Nebraska
Kansas vs Missouri (Border war)
Utah vs BYU (Holy war) [is back]

One of my favorite games all because of 2007 and then WVU getting revenge in 2009

Virginia Tech vs. West Virginia (Black Diamond Trophy) resumes again next year after a 12 year absence.

The WVU vs VT game is the one I'm excited for

It's a different kind of hate than the backyard brawl

I have mixed feelings about this. Too much disparity between the programs, it's like a scrimmage for LSU. On the other hand, why not? What's the difference between getting boatraced by Tulsa or by LSU? And it's a familiar opponent. A lotta 'membering going on right now

I used to love watching those games before Virginia Tech bolted for the ACC.

73-82 was competitive 6-4 LSU. It would be awesome if Tulane had a decent team and we could play on a yearly basis
