There are well over 100 rivalries that could have been listed in the poll. Some deserving ones were going to have to be left off. The poll is already 34 voting options long.
With the single exception of Bears versus Packers (I’m from Chicago), in all of the rivalries listed for sports that I follow (baseball, football, and basketball), I hate both of the listed teams.
my mom who grew up in Michigan for some reason unknown to everyone was a life long fan of the Dodgers in Brooklyn and LA to the point that if you were a giants fan you hoped she never found out as she wouldn’t acknowledge you existed …
I’m a Cardinals fan. The Cubs-Cardinals another good rivalry, but having lived in California, the Dodgers-Giants rivalry is a lot more intense. It’s all about Nor-Cal vs So-Cal.
I support every one of these, except the first - I can’t stand Ohio State.
I also voted for the Packers over the Bears. And I’d add Georgia over Florida, Georgia over Auburn, and North Carolina over Virginia (the South’s oldest football rivalry). And I’ll cheer for any team playing the Ravens, Cowboys, or Patriots.
I don’t follow the sport, so I don’t have any preference in any of the soccer rivalries you listed.
Surprised you didn’t list Harvard-Yale, though - that’s pretty famous.
