Michigan and Ohio State have fan bases made up of many transplants that live all over the country-West Coast, East Coast and Florida. The SEC fan base doesn’t have a large number of fans outside the South. Notre Dame also has a large fan base all over the country. Having a fan base that spans the country means higher TV ratings.

This, the media will make this the “greatest” rivalry because they can and do make the most money off it.
I’m biased, but from a pure football entertainment perspective I think the Egg Bowl beats it easily. Fans hate each other, half the time they fight, it’s usually a good game that’s no stranger to big upsets, and the general antics that make for memes that last years….but the market for two Mississippi teams playing is probably 1/0th that of Michigan/OSU.
