if the entire country was SEC country you’d be right

Thus more important

You talking American sports or all sports

Yanks vs Sox is tame compared to soccer rivalries

Is it? Or is it just that the region it’s in is bigger? And while’s tOSU- UM had playoff implications that last couple of years it was pretty much a tOSU home coming the better part of 2 decades before that.

it is

The northeast and west coast media types slobber over it so it s a bigger deal on the coasts where they generally don’t care as much about college football

Ironbowl is like college baseball: great in its own right but has limited regional appeal

I don't think college rivalries are anywhere near as big as pro. That being said Yankees Redsox has to be the number 1.

It's the opposite IMO. They play too often. Especially in baseball. College football rivalries are normally one game/day per year. Obviously we had the LSU/BAMA rematch. Stuff like that will happen more often now with the 12 team playoff.

In the early 2000s it was #1 for sure.

How? It ain’t meant shite until very recently, now with Michigan under a self-imposed ban it will go back to the sweat pant wearing fuxkheads in Columbus.
