1. Yankees-Red Sox....."We know it's a colege football list, but this rivalry is just so freakin' intense and our heads are so far up its ass that it spills over into any sport, any genre."

I see where you're coming from, but I can see why they put most of these teams on here. Florida-Georgia is unique in that it's played on a neutral field, and maybe the author got smashed at the "largest outdoor cocktail party" so it has a place in his heart or something. It doesn't have anywhere near the intensity of these others, though. Hell, you can argue that UGA-Tennessee/Auburn or even Florida-LSU or Auburn is better than this one. It's just a big SEC game, that's all. Also, to have this and not Stanford-Cal is absurd.

Notre Dame-USC is on there because it's the oldest non-conference rivalry in college football. It's also decided a lot of national championships, and 2005 wasn't the only great game. They played some monster games in the 60s and 70s. It should be bumped down a little, however, because with the advent of the BCS and conference championship games, this won't have that same impact on the title game. This is a nostalgia pick. And Notre Dame-Michigan, while one of my favorite games I look forward to, have only been playing somewhat consistently for  30 years (Michigan leads 19-14-1). Truly great rivalries don't take two year breaks like they did in '95-'96 and '00-'01. By the time we're old, though, this will easily be #1.

Miami-FSU is just hype, that's all. It was pretty intense in the 90s with classic games, but no way it's the top 10 in college football. Plus, the blatant disrepect these two schools show each other and everybody else almost makes it unwatchable for me.

And I apologize for my comment being longer than your entry.
