This is a top ten list of what I think are the best rivalries in College Football.

10. South Carolina vs. Clemson: This interstate rivalry game is the longest uninterrupted rivalry in the south and third longest in the nation. Clemson leads the series 64-37-4 but about forty games have been decided by a touchdown or less

From 1959 to 1961 they played for a trophy called the platypus trophy it was lost but then it was found again in 2005 starting 2007 it will start being rewarded to the winning team again. Oregon leads the series 55-46-10.

8. California vs. Stanford: This is the Tenth longest rivalry in the nation and Stanford leads the series 55-44-11. This rivalry is probably defined by "The Play". Arguably the best play in all of sports. 4 Cal players lateraled the ball five times to score a touchdown on a kickoff return to win the game. There has been dispute about that play since it happened.

7. Missouri vs. Kansas: This is the second most played rivalry in College football only behind Minnesota and Wisconsin. Missouri leads the series 54-53-9.

Both teams have had win streaks against each other of 5 or more. One or both squads have often come into the game ranked very high in the polls adding national implications to a already heated rivalry. Kicks have played an important role in this series with many wide left, wide right, blocked, and muffed kicks that would of won the game for the fallen.

4. Army vs. Navy:It is  one of the most traditional and enduring games in college football. Army and Navy have lost national championship implications and recruits because of there education policy and military commitment but it still remains nationally televised because of the games tradition. Navy leads the series 52-49-7 and have won 8 of the last 10 overall in the series.

3. Oklahoma vs. Texas: Also known as the Red River Shootout it is considered to be not only one of the best college football rivalries but one of the great sport rivalries. It gets its name from the Red River that makes up part of the boundary of Oklahoma and Texas.

Texas leads the series 57-40-5 but Oklahoma has one 6 of the last 8 meetings.

2. Alabam vs. Auburn: This game is also known as the Iron Bowl. It is called the Iron bowl due to birmingham's prominence as a steel and Iron producing city. Alabama leads the series 38-33-1 but Auburn has won 7 of the last 8 games and Alabama's last win came in 2001. 1964 was the year when this game was first nationally televised. 1989 was the first time this rivalry was played in Auburn and 1999 was the first time that alabama won in Auburn.

1. Michigan vs. Ohio State: This is a Intense rivalry that almost every year decides the Big Ten champion and who will play in the Rose bowl or even who will play in the championship. One of the most famous games in the History of the Rivalry was the 1950 snow bowl. Columbus was witnessing one of the worst blizzards in Ohio State history and had the choice to cancel the game which would of won them the big ten because they had the lead in the Big Ten but decided to play it any way, there was a total of 43 punts and there was not a single first down but Michigan would end up winning the game 9-3 off of a blocked punt for a touchdown.
