I like the rivalries, I also think they mean more in college football than any other sport because there is NO playoff. Every year, no matter how bad Florida or Georgia or Michigan or Ohio State is, the game between each of them is going to be a huge rivalry, because the other could knock the other out of the National Championship hunt.

In basketball, there is no bigger rivalry than Duke against North Carolina, but in the regular season or even the ACC Tournament the game means less to many observers because it isn't in the NCAA Tournament. When it is win or there is no tomorrow it heats up. We have that in spades in College Football because every game is do or die. You lose, just one game, you miss out on your chance to win a national title.

Yes, you get that lone team (Boise State, TCU, Utah) that says hey we went undefeated, what about us, but I would rather have 1 team out every year than to miss out on the week to week camping (in tents, intense, get it) that is college football!
