For ex Nebraska vs Oklahoma
I'm not sure if OSU vs Michigan happens every year
Texas vs a/m etc
Others have seemed to have slipped my mind

They have changed due to conference shifting.

How much football do you watch if you're unsure if Mich/OSU happens every year or not?

Texas A&M vs Xavier

I'm not sure if they play every year though

And I'm referring to the Texas A&M in Ohio

Most of the rivalries that are gone have to do with the dismantled Big 8. Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri, and Oklahoma are now in four different conferences.

In response the OSU vs Michigan comment- I know there was talk that they might not play every year because they were in different divisions.
Why the sarcasm?

1. Can't come up with any intelligent responses to answer the question, but want to show the world that they know something.

2. Still at an age where they think they know everything

3. Still at an age where they think knowing MI and OSU play every year is important.

4. All of the above

You realize that I'm not a fan of OSU nor Michigan so forgive me if I don't follow each season to see if they play or not. Recently with Hoke at Michigan (before his firing) it hasn't been much of a rivalry,

If you talk to a fan of one of the teams, it's still a huge rivalry.

That hasn't really hit me we are in 4 different conferences now...but it truly is a shame.

I'm 34 and started watching football in the mid 90s and I really miss Nebraska vs Colorado. both teams were ranked in the top 10 and the game was always on Black Friday

I wonder how it would be if they had a chance to do it all over again. With the re-alignment of the past few years, I'm sure the Big 8 and SWC would be gone, but I'm sure there would have been a way to keep those four together.

No Longhorn Network...and equal revenue sharing in the Big 12.

No one would have looked anywhere else if that happened.

What really sucks is that the schools could make these rivalries happen if they really wanted to.

Either one or both just don't want them. UT won't play TAM.

I don't know about TAM of Ohio though.

I want to believe this was a subtle troll thread for OSU and Mich fans.

Added one. Most of these could be reignited if the Big 12 were to fall apart and teams move.

Missouri/Kansas to the B1G. Texas, Oklahoma, OKie St to the SEC, WVU to the ACC.

Leave ND at Current Status, letting them schedule a couple extra Non-cons.

Covers most of them...and would be great for CFB IMO

TexASS was insufferable. It was bound to fracture.
