15. Alabama-LSU
13. Ole Miss-Mississippi State
9. Clemson-South Carolina
8. Florida-Florida State
1. Alabama-Auburn
Strange to see Bama-LSU on their list and not Bama-Tenn. But hasn't been much of a rivalry lately.

#15 does not compute

Don't both teams have to win occasionally in order for this to be a rivalry?

nfl.com is stupid as shite for not listing any of UGA's big 3 rivalries on there.

bullshite...
So many Bama fans here and at the office were cheering Auburn for in the National Championship.
True rivals do not cheer for thier most hated foe.

Apparently NFL.com only looks at the last 15 years, much like LSU fans.
Was Bama vs Tennessee a rivalry when we rattled off 7 straight? TSIO is streaky, always has been.

yeah, I don't know why people make a big deal about the Army/Navy or OSU/Michigan games either

The only reason it was ever a rivalry in the first place was because those two programs were the class of the SEC and played every year. Tennessee is going to need to make some serious strides before anyone outside Knoxville or Tuscaloosa will care about that game anymore.

I catch hell for saying this every year but the Army-Navy game is so extremely overrated. I understand that it's some of those kid's last football game and that they will be defending our country afterwards but it doesn't deserve it's own weekend. It's a cool thing but it's not the spectacle that people make it out to be.
Plus, Army hasn't beaten Navy in over ten years

How do WLCP and COFH not make this list?

how does it feel to have only won 2 games against an afterthought since the late 70s?

I've never thought about it.

because it's nfl.com...they aren't in the CFB business. It'd be like if ncaa.com tried to rank NFL rivalries.
COFH I can see not getting it's due recognition on a national scale..it's truly something that people won't "get" unless you're there or a part of it. WLOCP should make ANY "top rivalries" list, and to not have DSOR on here, especially considering it's a ranking of the last 15 years, is simply absurd.

if i was an arkansas fan I'd try not to think about football too
Posted on 6/4/15 at 9:04 am to WG_Dawg
Army Navy should be 1

Meh, not much of a rivalry lately. Georgia has only won a handful of games in the past 25 years.

Probably why its such a boring rivalry.

why?
army/navy is the same as gay and transgender acceptance in the national media. It's something that people feel like they HAVE to celebrate and recognize, for fear that if they don't they'll be criticized. "oh, you don't think army/navy is a great rivalry? WELL YOU AREN'T AMERICAN. HAVE YOU NO PRIDE IN YOUR COUNTRY!?!?"
We're talking about a football game. Army/Navy has a ton of pageantry and a ton of school pride, no doubt. But it's 2 irrelevant, bad football teams playing a game that doens't register even as a blip on a national scale and nobody cares about other than the day of hte game because we're told we should be watching it.
A ranking of CFB rivalries should be a mix of longevity, history, national relevance, hatred, classic games, etc. I mean, Army and Navy are both on the "same team" as it relates to their actual objective.
