When it comes to the BIGGEST Rivalries in the USA, what is a better one in terms of the records: Bama 43 - 35 - 1 vs the Barn. That is too close for me.
Bama vs LSU has become a rivalry but look at the DOMINANCE by Bama in that series.
What other BIG rivalry is even close. NOT Texas vs Oklahoma; NOT Texas vs Texas A & M; ….
What is the record of Michigan vs the Ohio State?
What about Army vs Navy? Navy has won the past 13 consecutive games.
Oregon vs Oregon State "The Civil War"?
Notre Dame vs USCw?
Alabama vs Tennessee has been a BIG rivalry. Can't remember the total for this series but Alabama must lead by at least 15 in wins.
What other rivalries are even close?
If you can't win close to half of the games, it should NOT even be called a RIVALRY!
Michigan leads Ohio State all time 58-46-6.
Michigan didn't lose for the first 14 years of the rivalry. Leading 12-0-2.
Since then, it is dead even at 46-46-4 ... so it's as close as you can get, but Michigan has sucked lately, so the rivalry has lost its luster nationally for the time being.
* Ohio State vacated the 2010 win with Pryor and co, or it'd be 58-47-6
IMO, Auburn-Alabama and Ohio State-Michigan are the two best rivalries of all time in any sport...Bama-Auburn has the current edge nationally due to competitiveness. We'll see if Michigan can get back
