OSU-Mich is like Lord Sidious and Yoda fighting. A great and powerful Sith Lord going up against one of the most powerful and wisest Jedi's. Alabama and Auburn are Obi Wan and Anakin Skywalker. Once before, very close friends, now torn between a betrayal and have epic light saber battles.
Damnit auburn. Why'd you have to go on and kill Padme.

I live in this shite storm Bama/Auburn rivalry and work for a company that has an office in Columbus OH, so I have experienced OSU and Michigan, and Ohio/Michigan is nothing compared to Bama and Auburn, nothing I tell you.

OSU and Michigan, only because hardly any other big ten opponents or games are relevant.
When you have Alabama-Auburn, Alabama-LSU, Alabama-Tennessee every year competing with each other depending on how good each one is. For many years Ohio State and Michigan were the only two good teams in the big ten, and even if Wisconsin was good, they may not have even played.

The way you were talking, it seemed like you didn't know the difference.

No. He had a touchdown run of 65 yards and 19 other carries for 80 yards. Learn facts and don't spout bullshite.

Well what makes it bigger? Because it sure isn't football illiterate fans in states like Arizona, California, and Oregon enjoying the OSU/UM game more. Or maybe it is? Idk
Honestly I don't care. It's the biggest game of the year by far for me and the only one where I truly can't stand losing. I don't care what the rest of the country thinks.

Perhaps the bowls will give a little insight. Here's a look at the 4 teams in the bowls.
Alabama is 35-24-2
auburn is 22-15
OSU is 21-24
UM is 20-23
Bama and auburn are a combined 18 games above .500 in the bowls, while OSU and UM are a combined 6 games under .500 in the bowls.
A little something extra about national prominance, UM has 11 recognized NC's, which is good at first glance until you notice that only one of them is since the Truman administration.

What you're saying is it wasn't relevant to you which is a very narrow criteria. I grew up a huge football fan. I was aware that OSU/Michigan was a rivalry but it was no more relevant to me than USC/UCLA or UT/A&M. I was actually much more interested in UF/FSU and FSU/Miami when I was younger but that's just me and I wouldn't use that to claim they are bigger rivalries than OSU/Mich

Meh. Alabama and auburn may be more intense for the people in the state, but i think OSU/UM has more appeal
For sure, all those enticing OSU/Michigan games of late.

Of course they did. Auburn has paid for one MNC in the last 30 years, so they have to invent things to celebrate.

Lawdy.

And 6 of them were awarded and/or claimed retroactively.

By a small margin in TV viewership terms.
Alabama 13.53M
Notre Dame vs Florida State 13.25M
The dirty little secret that you INTENTIONALLY failed to mention was that ND/FSU was telecast on a broadcast network and the Iron Bowl was available only on cable.
And the poor lil ol' IB still beat the mighty Irish and Seminoles in number of viewers even though it was telecast on a vastly lower number of TV sets.

39 out 50 states would say Michigan/Ohio. One state would say every rival is irrelevant outside of Texas/OU.

Like a bama fan should be talking about natty titles with all of the fake titles you guys claim.
