Well, I went with Army vs. Navy, though I think Mich vs. OSU is the biggest and best by far.

Just to let you know, the “(please do not vote for your favorite team)” prevents me from voting.

Yeah, sorry. Violated the rule before I saw it. Might have ignored it anyway.

I voted for the OSU vs. U of M rivalry because it is one of the few where both teams are college football powerhouses and trade off being the dominant team, so it is not always one team blowing out or getting upset.

Same here. I really don’t give a flyer for any other teams “rivalry”. Without a personal connection to the school, its like watching someone else’s vacation slideshow. I’m not nearly as excited about it as they are.

_If_ I voted, I would have made the case that the game “my favorite team” was involved with was for bragging rights to not only the conference, state and region, but the entire _city_ as well.

And, as with any football weekend, “As long as Notre Dame _loses_.”
