There are so many more personal rivalries than Michigan-Ohio State. Let's be honest, outside of those two states, no one gives a shite about them because outside of Ohio State getting bukkaked back to back years neither have done a damn thing on the national level.
Rivalries more personal/intense than those kitten fights in the Big Ten: Iron Bowl, Egg Bowl, TWLOCP, Georgia-GT, USC-Clemson, RRR, Texas-TAMU, Bedlam, Auburn-LSU, and Alabama-Tennessee.

I'm sure someone from/in the Great Lakers is completely unbiased. Literally the only people outside of those two states who care about that rivalry are alumni who invade other states.

weird how a south Carolina fan would include almost all SEC school rivalries as the top in college football.
Every list you will ever see about sports rivalries lists Michigan-Ohio State as the top in cfb, excluding army navy. Michigan Ohio state and the iron bowl are the top two hands down. Usc clemson is a joke compared to them.

The Alabama and Auburn guys have a good stake in this discussion. They have an intense rivalry and are one of the few fanbases around that can understand the intensity and dislike of Ohio State - TSUN because they live a similar rivalry.
Everyone else can pretty much go frick themselves because they don't have a clue.

Depends on how you define "top". The USC-Clemson rivalry is much much more intense for the schools involved. We live and work together, Michigan/OSU fans don't have as much direct contact. We don't have the national acclaim as Auburn-Alabama or the media coverage, but here, in our state, it's far more intense and heated than that joke between Michigan and Ohio State nowadays.
Army-Navy hasn't been a heated rivalry for a long, long time. That just comes with the territory. Notre Dame vs. Anyone really isn't that intense either. Sure the on field action may be close/great, but the fanbases really aren't THAT intense. Hell LSU-Arkansas has been a relatively competitive series over the last few years, but it's not heated because each fanbase really doesn't care one way or the other about the opponent's fanbase. They don't overlap much. That's why in-state rivalries are also bigger and more intense than OOS ones.

You have no clue how heated and intense the Ohio State - Michigan rivalry is. You really don't and your true colors are showing in your comments. Experts agree across the board yet you think it's a joke.

You trollin' bro? You know absolutely nothing about college football history.

This ain't the 70's anymore guy. The Sun Belt region dominates college football now, not the Rust Belt. I'm guessing your the one who knows nothing about college football if you really think that the Michigan-Ohio State game means a damn thing down south. It's just another noon Big Ten game down here albeit one that ESPN has to overhype and run their mouths incessantly about.
Let me guess, you probably know everything about college football, yet you don't even know that there are plenty of rivalries far more personal than that game. Hell the Border War is more intense and more personal than that shitfest of a game. Sure it was a big deal back before Star Wars came out, but in today's college football with the new landscape, it's just a big fish in a huge pond.
If you can't accept and understand that, then you aren't worth anyone's time of day champ.

The rivalry between Michigan and Ohio State is a reflection of the sheer level of hate the STATES have towards each other. Michigan and Ohio literally fought a battle over a strip of land. No two states dislike/hate each other more than Michigan and Ohio. This is what makes the football rivalry so unique and special.
The hate Michigan fans have towards OSU has its origins not in football, but in something far deeper and more cultural. No other rivalry can claim that.

You really need to read up on the Border War, the Iron Bowl, Battle for the Palmetto State, and other rivalries before you spout off something foolish like that.
BTW, not necessarily directing this at you, but if the Michigan-Ohio State game is so big, then why the hell didn't it make it in the top 9 in viewers for the 2010 season?
South Carolina was on there twice, Alabama on there 4 times, and hell even Oregon-Arizona got on the list, but no Michigan-OSU?

You're a fool if you think Bama Auburn means anything outside Alabama, Usc clemson outside of SC, and absolutely nobody gives a shite about fricking Kansas. Just because the best football is played down here doesn't mean the rest of the nation circle jerks to us (I'm a LSU fan first and foremost). Michigan and Ohio State HATE each other, it's way more than a rivalry ( like the iron bowl). What game do you think west coaster would rather watch: Michigan Ohio state or clemson Usc?

#1 Ohio State and #2 Michigan fought for the right to win the Big 10 and play for the national championship...in 2006. So, yes it was a big deal a year AFTER Revenge of the Sith came out.
Remind me when #1 South Carolina and #2 Clemson played for a BCS title berth? Or even #1 Bama and #2 Auburn fought it out for that right?
Not only do you not know college football history, you don't even know the "new landscape" you profess to lecture everyone on the board here.
And for the record, Ohio State vs. Michigan is a national brand...far more than any game in the South is. Caveat to your way of thinking..."no one cares" only equals your little parcel of land in America.

Lowlandgamecock, you are misunderstanding the OP, it isn't asking how other team's fans feel/care about the game, it's how the involved fanbases hate each other. Michigan and Ohio State hate each other unlike anything else in sports (iron bowl has a strong claim, though)

First of all, learn to type like an adult. Second of all, the ratings prove that the nation does apparently in fact circlejerk to us when they watch College football. Third of all, very few people on the West Coast even give a damn about college football to begin with and when they do, it affects their teams. The Big Ten has a tie-in to the Rose Bowl. You do the math.
If you think that Michigan-OSU fans hate each other more or even as much as rivals in the South do, then you are out of your damn mind. Sure they hate them on Saturdays, but Sunday through Friday they are more concerned with their pro sports. Football rivalries down south are a 24/7 365 thing. This divides cities, neighborhoods, and even families.
You don't get it and you never will. Times have changed. Michigan-Ohio State isn't as relevant as it was in the 60's and 70's. Will never be that relevant again nationally. The fan hatred will never be the same as it is down south. You are completely ignorant to this yet you keep running your damn mouth like you know something when you really don't know shite.
