Thoughts? Red Sox and Yankees should be number 1 in my opinion

>all those yuro teams
Disregarded
>>66752239
Rangers-Celtic way more intense.
>any non college football rivalry being number 1
Yanks-Sox is number 3 at best
Thats a really terrible list.
>>66752351
there is more passion in college sports in America. Thats a fact
>No Iron Bowl
fuckin dropped
>Yankees v. Mets
I'm a metsfag since the early 90s but this rivalry barely warrants top 25 status
I'd rate mets-braves or mets-phillies higher. Sure I hate the Yankees but >we don't play them often enough for this to be an all-time great rivalry
Any list that doesn't have Army-Navy as #1 is invalid.
That list is fucking horrible. How is Ravens/Steelers the highest NFL rivalry? And how are NFL rivalries ranked higher than college football rivalries? Also third-world sports like cricket and rugby shouldn't be on this list.
>OSU/UM #20
Get this bullshit off of my screen.
I think we can all agree for college football, it goes:
1. tOSU vs Michigan
2. Alabama vs. Auburn
3. Harvard vs. Yale
4. Army vs. Navy
5. Oklahoma vs. Texas

>In addition, the Tar Heels have one more (5) NCAA Tournament Championship and have the sole post-season victory when these two teams met in 1971.
This is completely wrong. Duke has five and all five were in 64-team era. UNC has six but one was Helms championship.
This whole list is shit.
>The Game (tOSU vs Mich) being #20
>>66752239
>ravens-steelers that high
>dodgers-giants that low
>lakers-celtics that low
>um-osu that low
>no auburn-alabama
>all that divegrass
a 0/10 would be generous
>>66753332
looks solid. Probably put army navy ahead of harvard yale. The 5 spot a wash
>#2 is britstick
Retarded list.
#1 is right everything else is wrong.
RM vs BC has rival fans in the whole world.
How the fuck is SF/LA so low? Eat shit.
>college irrelevantball teams should be on the list
SF/LA should be way higher. People literally killing each other after games. And where is Oakland/SF? Faggoty list is faggoty.
>>66753816
College rivalries are huge in the states.
>Bears vs packers
>14
Shit list
>>66753943
>Oakland/SF
>interleague/conference ""rivalries""
>>66754071
The Giants and the A's had a World Series together you stupid faggot.
MISHITGAN BTFO
OSU BTFO
>no UW/Oregon
>no USC/NotreDame
>no UCLA/USC
>no Auburn/Alabama
>no Texas/Oklahoma
any of those rank above yuro "sports"
>no Tay Tay vs Katy Perry
>>66754774
two of those rivalries are irrelevant and USC-ND is fringe tier these days
>>66755914
>Iron bowl, USC/ND, Texas/Oklahoma irrelevant
nah man
>>66755952
i was referring to UW/Oregon and UCLA/USC
>no Cardinals-Cubs or Giants-Dodgers
>>66756004
>Cards-Cubs
More of a regional thing. If Chicago had their shit together historically, then maybe it would have more relevance.
So what should be said is: The more successful the two teams are, the more relevant the rivalry is, with some exceptions.
>In the world
You guys do know that euros go psycho for minor league rivalries, right?
>>66753332
Notre Dame vs USC
>no Avalanche vs Red Wings
Probably the best rivalry in sports in the 90s
Avalanche v Red Wings is forever the GOAT
~5 year span of absolute hatred and cockblocking eachother in the playoffs, then it evaporates
Temporary, naturally occurring ones are so much better than the we've-played-eachother-a-long-time "traditional rivalry", which are just forced as fuck
