I was just about to say this about how Tennessee apparently has a rivalry with at least half of their division AND Alabama, and then Florida-Georgia is yet another big rivalry in the SEC East. That's what happens when you have relative stability in a conference for 30 years. I wonder how disruptive this next expansion is gonna be.
@@austin3873 We should get a good Iron Bowl this year with it being Auburn's turn to host. Since the "Kick Six" game (10th anniversary btw) Auburn has played Alabama noticeably a lot tougher at home, with 2015 being the only outlier.
@@nathanstroud2223 it’s always a toss up for some reason. Within the past few years Alabama should have beaten auburn by 30 but for some reason they aren’t. It’s always a tough game
@@nathanstroud2223Tennessee got more of a rivalry with Auburn than most of the teams in the SEC East they just don’t play much in FB anymore. Tennessee/Auburn used to be a big deal in FB. Same with Florida and Auburn. I never liked expansion because it cost Auburn those games to add Mizzery and South Carolina. Now they’re about to lose the Tiger Bowl vs LSU. 🤬
For the Stanford vs Cal game, the band came out on the field because they though the runner was down and the game was over. At 6:04 of the video, you can see one of the Stanford players at the top right jump up and celebrate. So even some of the players on the field thought the game was over. The band rushed the field and Cal trampled a few tuba players giving college football one of the most iconic moments in history. In my opinion, the best rivalry in NCAA football is Ohio St and Michigan, followed by Army and Navy. Other rivalries that are HUGE, are Alabama/Auburn, Florida State/Miami, Georgia/Florida, Notre Dame/USC, Texas/Oklahoma, Wisconsin/Minnesota, Pittsburgh/West Virginia, Harvard/Yale. Many of these rivalries go back well over 100 years.
The Notre Dame/Michigan rivalry is one of the oldest in college football. People don’t talk about it so much anymore, but it goes back to when Michigan first learned the game. Notre Dame asked Michigan to teach them how to play, which they did. They played each other every year, but when Notre Dame started winning, Michigan stopped playing them. They even refused to let ND join their football conference. ND had to start traveling by train to play at all. It’s part of the reason why ND is still not in any conference. There are other reasons, but this was the start of it.
Notre Dame has a spiritual rivalry with a number of Big 10 schools, being a Midwestern school themselves It’s a shame they’re an ACC school in other sports besides football
And yet not one OU/Texas game to be had... I know Vanderbilt is in Nashville, Tennessee but a Vandy upset over a four overtime Red River Showdown in 2020 or the 2021 twenty one point comeback with the go-ahead TD being scored with 3 seconds left in the game! Geesh!
Michigan vs. Ohio State. It started in 1835 with an actual War. Decades before College football. Both teams could lose every game, but the winner of this game is all that matters.
for West Virginia i would check out Tavon Austin highlights. incredibly fun to watch. they were also great in the mid 2000s with their high tempo offense.
Recently found you guys and love the content. I’m born and raised in Morgantown about 10 minutes from the West Virginia campus. I’ve also become a die hard Liverpool fan since 2015 and have such a love for football/soccer. The video y’all did on the college football stadium atmospheres is absolutely no joke in Morgantown on WVU game days. Hearing the whole stadium sing “Country Roads” is something special. I know every word to that song just by livening here and going to games lol. I think that’s what made me support Liverpool because of the similar Anfield atmosphere. Both beautiful. Congrats to Man City on the treble, incredible club!
I’m in Mississippi but I used to make sales calls in Alabama. I can’t tell you how many calls I had to just sit in an office and listen to them bicker about Alabama and Auburn (of course I loved it). The schools are so close to one another that there really isn’t an Alabama or Auburn area of the state…so they’re all up on one another. There’s also a class element. Alabama is the state school for professionals..doctors, lawyers, etc. Auburn is an agricultural and tech school. Bama refers to a Auburn as a Cow College and will sing Old McDonald had a farm at them. 😅
My top 5 is: Texas vs Oklahoma (Red river Showdown-This happens every year during the Texas State Fair) Ohio State vs Michigan Army vs Navy Alabama vs Auburn Georgia vs Florida
3:37 As a UGA fan I remember exactly where I was when I saw this last live (it was almost 8-10 years ago now). I was in college at a nearby local GA school for a weekend field trip (geology). We just came back to campus and it was the 4th quarter. I missed most of the game but I thought we’d pull it off. First time I noticed my jaw literally drop out of shock in life 😂. My best friend is an Auburn fan too, didn’t hear the end of it for weeks 😂. Great play by Auburn.
I already knew what clip it was just from your comment. But now that I'm watching it for the hundredth time, I'm just realizing my friend from school was in that clip. He played o line for Auburn. You can see him celebrating in the pile at the end. Number 65. Crazy thing is he didn't play football until like 10th grade and got a full ride scholarship to Auburn and won the title in 2010
Just as mostly a Big 10 fan, the biggest rivalry is Ohio St. vs. Michigan. They always get the top recruits in the conference, but on a lower level Minnesota vs Wisconsin with Paul Bunyan's axe rival is pretty cool, it's lower level but still fun.
Nick saban was LSU coach first before he went to the NFL, he left the NFL and went to Alabama to coach the team .and to this day the fans have not forgotten that .but he still comes to the state to pick players to play on the Alabama teams! that is why LSU and Alabama go at it with one another ,they really play hard!
Texas vs Texas Tech pales in comparison with Texas vs A&M. They are the only universities whose fight songs start off dissing the other. Look forward to this rivalry renewing in the SEC.
Stanford versus "Cal" (U of California at Berkeley) with the band on the field is all-time great because it is amazing and hilarious at the same time. Maybe the best part of the play is when the bandmember for Stanford is creamed in the endzone by the Cal player with the ball. Never gets old.
Michigan State - Michigan is the most underrated (Michigan State fan) but Ohio State - Michigan is the greatest rivalry period because of the long overall history of both of those programs being at the top of the Big 10 Conference. Michigan State - Michigan is about hate while Ohio State - Michigan is about respect.
@@austin3873 1. They're saying the MSU-UM rivalry is underrated, not UM 2. What's this about blowing games? I can clearly recall multiple times where Michigan gets to their big games and can't handle it and fall apart. You guys really need to fire Harbaugh, he's not what you think he is
I’m an Ohio state fan so I may be biased. But it’s widely accepted that OSU mich is one of the best if not THE best rivalry in all of sports. You guys should do a video on that
I’m a Penn State fan but Ohio st vs Michigan is huge, but you got Oklahoma vs Texas ( red river rivalry), bama vs Auburn( iron bowl) Florida vs Florida St. and probably the most historic is Army vs Navy. Daz and Aidan you need to look into the Army/ Navy game the history around it is amazing. But also with in college football you’ll have geographic rivals( in state much ups like Georgia vs Georgia Tech) But then there’s also conference rivals like OSU vs Michigan. Now the game that’s both in state rival and conference rival would be the Iron bowl Alabama be Auburn. But also you’ve got Vanderbilt vs Tennessee. Vanderbilt is in Nashville fyi.
College football is the closest thing to the ‘tribalism’ that you see in European football. As you’re aware, in American sports the pro teams sometimes move to different cities. But the college you attend is always in the same spot. And a lot of families will have multiple generations attend the same college, so you grow up being a fan and then graduate from there yourself. A lot of the rivalries are geographical, whether it’s instate or bordering states. You live and work with fans of opposing colleges.
Agree with a lot of what you said but let’s be real the bulk majority of people that are fans that follow CFB have never attended a class in those universities. Many people are fans of these universities because it’s the local team lol
5:24 - That was fourth down, so if Michigan just took a knee, the clock would immediately stop for the change of possession, giving MSU the ball with enough time to either try to pick up 25 yards on one quick play and then kick a field goal, or to throw a Hail Mary to the end zone. What they were trying *should* have worked - all they had to do was not fumble the snap, get the punt away, and even if the clock didn't run out before the ball became dead, MSU would have had to go 80+ yards in one play. That said, once the snap was fumbled, the best thing the punter could do for Michigan's chances was just fall on it. He clearly wasn't going to get the kick away, they were still far enough that MSU would need to advance the ball a bit to attempt a field goal, and they would have a chance to set their defense instead of a loose-ball situation with ten men behind the ball. But he panicked, and the rest is history. 6:23 - only the most famous ending in all of college football (at least until 2013 and the play that immediately followed it in the video). The Stanford marching band was ready to come onto the field for their postgame show, they saw the tackle at midfield, and they didn't realize the player had lateraled the ball first and the play was still live. (Fun story on this one - there is an almost-never-used rule that allows the officials to award a touchdown for a "palpably unfair act" or outside interference. During the officials' discussion after the play, the referee was considering whether he needed to invoke that rule due to the band or simply penalize Stanford for extra players entering the field with the ball still live - which would allow Cal a field goal attempt to win - when the line judge told him that the Cal player scored anyway.)
LETS GO MOUNTAINEERS! No idea what in the world made you guys pick West Virginia but as someone from there I'm thrilled! Hopefully we can give you guys a entertaining season this year. Also can't wait for you guys to watch the Backyard brawl this year with our biggest rival Pitt. This upcoming game will be the 106th played all time in the series, the first being in 1895. The schools are only about 56 miles from each other across state lines so it's always been heated. You should watch highlights of last years brawl for a good intro to the historic rivalry!
They left off two big ones. Army v Navy as well as Texas v Oklahoma. I noticed the last video of top plays from last year left out any plays from Texas.
Most schools have more than one rival. The "Big Game" with Cal vs. Stanford was unique with the band on the field. I believe that was also John Elways' last collegiate game as QB for Stanford.
i'm from Alabama and the Auburn-Alabama is truly ugly and mean spirited. You will find some well adjusted people who aren't too bad toward eachother (usually graduates from the schools) but non graduates are absolutely wild. Lol
Typically any state that has two major teams will have a in-state rivalry. Then it’s typically border states. The biggest ones that typically come to mind are: Ohio State-Michigan (I consider the biggest) Army-Navy Alabama-Auburn Oklahoma-Texas Georgia-Florida Notre Dame-USC, Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State(really everyone) Then some still big but smaller ones are: Oregon-Oregon State Washington-Washington State Michigan-Michigan State Cal-Stanford USC-Stanford Oklahoma-Oklahoma State Alabama-LSU Miami-Florida State I’m sure I’m missing some but you get the idea. Typically conference rivals with long histories or teams that are interstate with each other.
7:22 Crazy that that Oklahoma team beat that Alabama team (6:50) in the next game. Alabama was undefeated and supposed to go to the National Championship, but that freak loss in that highlight kept them out. And they had to play Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl. Oklahoma wae 2 TD underdogs going into that game, and beat Alabama by 2 TD's.
Actually, Georgia's biggest rival is the University of Florida. They have a deep hatred of each other. ...Especially, the 1980 Georgia/Florida game! ...Vanderbilt University is named after one of the richest families in American history--- the Vanderbilts. You may have heard of one of their recent descendants--- Gloria Vanderbilt.
Most rivalries are in college football within state or neighboring states, very few rivalries like UsC Notre dame which are in different sides of the country
There needs to be an updated one that includes the 2020 and 2021 Red River Shootout between Oklahoma and Texas. It's one of the biggest rivalries of all, and those two games were insane.
3 biggest rivalries Alabama vs Auburn (iron bowl) Tex vs Oklahoma (red river rivalry) Michigan vs Ohio State Most rivalries are teams from the same conference or same State ...
@@jacobwolfe6288 You clearly don’t understand how deep the rivalry goes. Literally every time a Freshman Midshipman turns a corner they have to say “Beat Army, sir” for the entire first year. When they play the Air Force Academy they still say “Beat Army”. Coaches in every sport are fired solely on their performance in the Army-Navy matchups. It’s called “America’s Game” for a reason. The pageantry for a neutral is great to watch, but for an actual supporter it is extremely brutal.
@@loganleroy8622 I know. I’m an Alabama fan and I watch every rivalry game. I know the traditions you don’t need to tell me. I’m telling you though, as people with both army (grandfather) and navy (uncle), that nobody cared. The egg bowl is better. Also, no vitriol in Army-Navy, good natured fun, not what college football is about
@@jacobwolfe6288 Respectfully, there's a difference between having been a soldier in the Army and graduating from West Point. It's the same as getting your Master's degree at Ohio St., after attending Miami (OH) for undergrad. Do you really care about the outcome of Ohio St.-Michigan? No. If you're a grad of one of these two schools it matters a great deal more.
Completely unbiased as I am a Texas fan, but to me the best rivalry in all of American sports is Ohio St vs Michigan. I don't know what it is about that game. Just something about the energy surrounding it feels different than even the national championship or even the Super Bowl to me. At times it feels like between those two schools that winning that game is the single most important thing either of them can do in a season. I would not be shocked if there are fans of Ohio St who look more fondly on a win over Michigan than a national championship win.
You're correct in that the Michigan punter should have just fallen on the ball vs. trying to make a play. Michigan State would have had time for 1, maybe 2 plays, but they were likely out of field goal range and would have needed to gain yards and stop the clock to try one. A pass to the end zone from that distance (about the 40) is low percentage as well.
Most notorious rivalry in American sports is Ohio State - University of Michigan. Although Michigan also has a second large rivalry with Michigan State
The schools in the Southeast Conference have been playing each other for over 100 years. So that’s why Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida and Auburn all consider them rivals.
Vanderbilt is located in Nashville, Tennessee, and is the overall highest rated academic institution in the Southeastern Conference (SEC). It is known more for it's academics rather than athletics.
The big ones that come to mind for me are Ohio state vs Michigan Texas vs Oklahoma Auburn vs Alabama Michigan vs MSU Ole miss vs Miss state NC State vs UNC Georgia vs Florida Texas vs Texas A&M Notre Dame vs USC South Carolina vs Clemson West Virginia vs Pitt Army vs Navy
6:37 it’s “The Big Game” rivalry between Stanford and UC Berkeley, both San Francisco Bay Area schools Stanford thought they had won, so their band had already gone onto the field not knowing the final play was still alive 😂
In the 90's and early 2000's, the biggest rivalry games were between the 3 Florida schools: Miami, Florida State and Florida. Whoever won those games usually played for the national championship. But now all 3 teams are mediocre. But the state of Florida ran college football for over a decade.
@@Gutslinger Yeah whoever won the state of Florida would play Nebraska for the National Championship. Oklahoma was good in the 80's then took the 90's off, then got good again in the 2000's.
Most of the good rivalries were in this video tbh. Texas v Oklahoma is a really big one and the only one (that I can think of) that’s played in a neutral site every year
The band on the field is a legendary moment. The game was Stanford vs Cal(California) and the band thought the one guy had been tackled and the game was over. They didn’t see that the guy was able to hand it to another guy before going down.
Nebraska and Oklahoma were the biggest rivalry in college football, back when they were in the same conference. Usually whoever won that game went on to win the National Championship.
Kansas and mizzou is an underrated rivalry lowkey but also nebraska iowa, texas oklahoma, florida and florida state, obviously michigan, ohio state, alabama gerogia and the inner state ones are good too like auburn alabama, kstate kansas, michigan state and michigan. I also think missouri arkansas is pretty underrated theyve played pretty close in football in recent years. But yeah there are tons of rivalries in college sports is lowkey hard to keep track of
The California vs Stanford play with the band on the field is considered the greatest play ever (even though one of the ball carrier's knee was probably on the ground).
Depending on how great the recent year(s) of performances are (think Man U vs Man UTD when both are top 4 in the table) - Georgia and Alabama - Ohio State and Michigan They are easily 1 and 1A right now. But other elite all time rivalries are: - Oklahoma vs Texas - Alabama vs LSU - Alabama vs Auburn - USC vs UCLA -Oklahoma vs Oklahoma State - Michigan vs Michigan State Etc. There’s so many rivalries (most teams have at least one rival they play every year).
You want to get a feel of the craziness, and some of crazy stuff some fans do, watch 30 for 30 roll tide/war eagle its explains college rivals perfectly, put it this way the kick 6 Bama kicker got death threats..insane
You should definitely come to a University of Tennessee game. Tail gate from 9am - game time, Tennessee vs either bama or Georgia or Florida or even Bols vs Kentucky or Vs whoever. Cant go wrong with Neyland stadium in the fall. We start drinking and cooking bar bq around 10am and then goto the game at 3-8pm depending on the game. Then 6 hours of partying after the game. GO VOLS! GBO 🍊
I would say the Buckeyes and Wolverines are the biggest rivalry. Then again, I’m biased because my grandpa played for Woody Hayes so I’m a diehard Ohio State fan. O-H!
4:37 Vanderbilt is a very prestigious school in Tennessee. Academically one of the best but no so much in football mostly because they play in a tough conference (The SEC). Tennessee and Vanderbilt are very close in proximity and are rivals.
The trouble with the snap game, the player who made the touch down actually broke his hip on that play. The Michigan State, Michigan game week is very tense in the state. Your co workers and possible husbands and wives are on opposite sides all week .
7:27 I remember watching that game and seeing Oklahoma State fans throwing trash at the Oklahoma Sooners players. Then a guy standing outside of the endzone tried to trip an Oklahoma player after they scored. It cemented a negative outlook that I have of their fans now. Before that, I liked both teams, because I'm from Oklahoma.
In the famous Cal - Stanford game, the band started running on the field because they thought the game was over. It was an unusual situation that was very confusing for everyone watching live.
The best rivalries are those that have been around forever in which a win can save the head coach’s job for another year even if the team looses the rest of the games that year. That depends on each team individually. For OSU (OK), it’s OU they must win. For OU, it’s UT they must win. For UT, they must win OU. For TA&M, it’s UT they must win. Of the examples I listed above, where the rivalry game is against the same teams, OU vs UT. Neither team is located in Dallas, and this game sells out the Cotton Bowl Stadium every year no matter this season’s team records are before the game. The entire City of Dallas is aware of the game hosted on the second weekend of the Texas State Fair. The hotels are sold out that weekend months in advance. Other rivalries of interest that have head coach job saving impacts are OSU(OH) vs MI, UA vs AU, USC vs UCLA, Army vs Navy. The team with the largest fan base is Norte Dame, and it’s rivalry game varies from year to year depending upon the Big 10 conference winner the previous year. It used to be independent of conference, so the big rivalry those years were with the highest ranked teams the year earlier. Fans of most teams sort of follow Notre Dame example of not caring so much for history than who had the best record the year before. These so called rivalries do not have the get out of jail card for the head coach with a win with a loosing season. There is a difference between big games for that season championship, upsets that occur, and a true rivalry game. True rivalry games most often use to play in neutral stadiums, some still do. Those that still do are events all to themselves, where after every play half the fans are cheering and half the fans sit silent, but prior to the play all the fans were cheering. They are the best rivalry games to attend if you get the chance to do so.
I am a GA fan too..... here in Augusta we have what's called the Border Bash when we play the Gamecocks... it gets the fans pumped for when we play each other (like today!) and it raises money for charity. However, I have always said, my two favorite college teams are UGA and whoever is whipping Florida's ass.
Vanderbilt is named after Cornelius Vanderbilt who was one of the richest men from shipping and rail transport. Biltmore Estates in North Carolina was his “house” which was the largest private residence in the US.
Georgia seems to have more rivals than a lot of other schools and a big part of which rivalry you care about most depends on geography within the state and age. Georgia Tech is our traditional rival but it hasn't exactly been the most competitive of late so younger fans tend to put it lower on the list. For those in South Georgia it's often Florida, in Augusta it can sometimes be South Carolina, Western Georgia it's Auburn, North Georgia it's Tennessee or Clemson.... Georgia tends to be within the top 2-3 rivals of a lot of schools around them.
Michigan Ohio State is probably the biggest, Alabama v Auburn is another, Texas v Oklahoma, Miami v Florida state, Florida v Georgia or V Florida state there used to be many more that have fell a bit since re alignment
As a lifetime Vanderbilt University fan I have to say I'm not surprised you've never heard of them. Vanderbilt is a founding member of the SEC and the only private university in the conference. That basically means that they have a smaller undergraduate population, a slightly more strenuous set of requirements to be admitted and not as big of a fan base as the other schools. The football team is not known for consistently winning We go through long periods of bad seasons and then we'll have a new coach come in and they might be good for a couple of years and we'll get better and the coach moves to a bigger school. Vanderbilt's baseball team is usually in the top 5 of the conference and often nationally ranked. They hda few National championships titles. They also do quite well in other sports that don't draw very large attendance such as tennis, golf, swimming.. The basketball teams are rebuilding they're usually competitive. Vanderbilt fans think of Tennessee as the big rival because we sre the two SEC teams in the same state. However I don't think Tennessee thinks of us as a rival they think of Alabama as their number one rival. But they do hate it if they happen to lose a game to Vanderbilt in any sport so we'll take that. Vanderbilt campus is near downtown Nashville. The Uni is known for their law and their medical schools Nashville was blessed to have three major medical centers in Vanderbilt is one of them. They have one of the best children's hospitals in the world. Sometimes it's tough being a Vanderbilt fan but I love watching the SEC compete against other conferences so that makes it worthwhile.
College football rivalries? There's like 500 hundred College footbalk programs out there. Now you got like 400 different fans recommending their school and their rivalry lol. It makes for fun Saturdays though. Do NFL Rivalries next.
#! UC Berk VS Stanford... like 5 laterals then the Stanford band came on to the field thinking game over! The guy score and runs over the Tuba player! So cool. #2 Saban (Alabama coach) argued that he still had 0.001 left on clock, so after review the refs agreed. This set up like a 55 yard attempt. It was short and the Auburn guy returned it 106 yards for the score to win! Alabama was #! Auburn #4 great finish/game!
I'm not sure what the biggest rivalry is but I'm sure it involves civil lawsuits any time they play. But I just know the rivalries my school, the University of Utah, has. Locally it's still BYU, within the PAC12, I'd have to say University of Oregon. Dunno why, but it seems when ever we play them things are cranked up a notch on intensity. Nothing against U of Oregon, and you might not think the U of U is your rival, but that's how I'm seeing things.
Proximity always leads to a big rivalry, but the SEC conference is so stacked with powerhouses, almost every duo is a big rivalry.
I was just about to say this about how Tennessee apparently has a rivalry with at least half of their division AND Alabama, and then Florida-Georgia is yet another big rivalry in the SEC East. That's what happens when you have relative stability in a conference for 30 years. I wonder how disruptive this next expansion is gonna be.

Texas vs Texas Tech pales in comparison with Texas vs A&M. They are the only universities whose fight songs start off dissing the other. Look forward to this rivalry renewing in the SEC.
Stanford versus "Cal" (U of California at Berkeley) with the band on the field is all-time great because it is amazing and hilarious at the same time. Maybe the best part of the play is when the bandmember for Stanford is creamed in the endzone by the Cal player with the ball. Never gets old.
I’m definitely biased for my LSU Tigers lol love the reaction guys
Michigan State - Michigan is the most underrated (Michigan State fan) but Ohio State - Michigan is the greatest rivalry period because of the long overall history of both of those programs being at the top of the Big 10 Conference. Michigan State - Michigan is about hate while Ohio State - Michigan is about respect.
Michigan is not underrated😂. Y’all are over rated. Y’all have blown almost every big game for the past decade
@@austin3873 1. They're saying the MSU-UM rivalry is underrated, not UM
2. What's this about blowing games? I can clearly recall multiple times where Michigan gets to their big games and can't handle it and fall apart. You guys really need to fire Harbaugh, he's not what you think he is
@@warriyorcat that’s exactly what I said. They blow games. You must have horrible comprehension skills
I’m an Ohio state fan so I may be biased. But it’s widely accepted that OSU mich is one of the best if not THE best rivalry in all of sports. You guys should do a video on that
I’m a Penn State fan but Ohio st vs Michigan is huge, but you got Oklahoma vs Texas ( red river rivalry), bama vs Auburn( iron bowl) Florida vs Florida St. and probably the most historic is Army vs Navy. Daz and Aidan you need to look into the Army/ Navy game the history around it is amazing. But also with in college football you’ll have geographic rivals( in state much ups like Georgia vs Georgia Tech) But then there’s also conference rivals like OSU vs Michigan. Now the game that’s both in state rival and conference rival would be the Iron bowl Alabama be Auburn. But also you’ve got Vanderbilt vs Tennessee. Vanderbilt is in Nashville fyi.
College football is the closest thing to the ‘tribalism’ that you see in European football. As you’re aware, in American sports the pro teams sometimes move to different cities. But the college you attend is always in the same spot. And a lot of families will have multiple generations attend the same college, so you grow up being a fan and then graduate from there yourself.
A lot of the rivalries are geographical, whether it’s instate or bordering states. You live and work with fans of opposing colleges.
Agree with a lot of what you said but let’s be real the bulk majority of people that are fans that follow CFB have never attended a class in those universities. Many people are fans of these universities because it’s the local team lol
@@fabiantaveras8458hence the tribalism that the guy is talking about. The colleges will never move so there will be generations of fans
I was a freshman at Stanford at the time. Yes, the band was on the field, but a Cal knee went down!!!
5:24 - That was fourth down, so if Michigan just took a knee, the clock would immediately stop for the change of possession, giving MSU the ball with enough time to either try to pick up 25 yards on one quick play and then kick a field goal, or to throw a Hail Mary to the end zone. What they were trying *should* have worked - all they had to do was not fumble the snap, get the punt away, and even if the clock didn't run out before the ball became dead, MSU would have had to go 80+ yards in one play.
That said, once the snap was fumbled, the best thing the punter could do for Michigan's chances was just fall on it. He clearly wasn't going to get the kick away, they were still far enough that MSU would need to advance the ball a bit to attempt a field goal, and they would have a chance to set their defense instead of a loose-ball situation with ten men behind the ball. But he panicked, and the rest is history.
6:23 - only the most famous ending in all of college football (at least until 2013 and the play that immediately followed it in the video). The Stanford marching band was ready to come onto the field for their postgame show, they saw the tackle at midfield, and they didn't realize the player had lateraled the ball first and the play was still live. (Fun story on this one - there is an almost-never-used rule that allows the officials to award a touchdown for a "palpably unfair act" or outside interference. During the officials' discussion after the play, the referee was considering whether he needed to invoke that rule due to the band or simply penalize Stanford for extra players entering the field with the ball still live - which would allow Cal a field goal attempt to win - when the line judge told him that the Cal player scored anyway.)
LETS GO MOUNTAINEERS! No idea what in the world made you guys pick West Virginia but as someone from there I'm thrilled! Hopefully we can give you guys a entertaining season this year. Also can't wait for you guys to watch the Backyard brawl this year with our biggest rival Pitt. This upcoming game will be the 106th played all time in the series, the first being in 1895. The schools are only about 56 miles from each other across state lines so it's always been heated. You should watch highlights of last years brawl for a good intro to the historic rivalry!
5:10. The Aussie punter forgot he wasn't playing rugby and tried to pass the ball back to God knows who.
Wow it’s amazing how many times Tennessee was on the losing end of these clips! I went there for grad school so it hurt a bit! 😂😢😂
They left off two big ones. Army v Navy as well as Texas v Oklahoma. I noticed the last video of top plays from last year left out any plays from Texas.
that Pitt vs Penn State game was one of the most fun days in my 25 years on this planet
Most schools have more than one rival. The "Big Game" with Cal vs. Stanford was unique with the band on the field. I believe that was also John Elways' last collegiate game as QB for Stanford.
i'm from Alabama and the Auburn-Alabama is truly ugly and mean spirited. You will find some well adjusted people who aren't too bad toward eachother (usually graduates from the schools) but non graduates are absolutely wild. Lol
Typically any state that has two major teams will have a in-state rivalry. Then it’s typically border states. The biggest ones that typically come to mind are:
Ohio State-Michigan (I consider the biggest)
Army-Navy
Alabama-Auburn
Oklahoma-Texas
Georgia-Florida
Notre Dame-USC, Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State(really everyone)
Then some still big but smaller ones are:
Oregon-Oregon State
Washington-Washington State
Michigan-Michigan State
Cal-Stanford
USC-Stanford
Oklahoma-Oklahoma State
Alabama-LSU
Miami-Florida State
I’m sure I’m missing some but you get the idea. Typically conference rivals with long histories or teams that are interstate with each other.
Some rivalries are based around actual historical wars that took place like Ohio St.-Michigan or Kansas-Missouri.
7:22 Crazy that that Oklahoma team beat that Alabama team (6:50) in the next game.
Alabama was undefeated and supposed to go to the National Championship, but that freak loss in that highlight kept them out. And they had to play Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl. Oklahoma wae 2 TD underdogs going into that game, and beat Alabama by 2 TD's.
Actually, Georgia's biggest rival is the University of Florida. They have a deep hatred of each other.
...Especially, the 1980 Georgia/Florida game!
...Vanderbilt University is named after one of the richest families in American history--- the Vanderbilts. You may have heard of one of their recent descendants--- Gloria Vanderbilt.
Most rivalries are in college football within state or neighboring states, very few rivalries like UsC Notre dame which are in different sides of the country
There needs to be an updated one that includes the 2020 and 2021 Red River Shootout between Oklahoma and Texas.
It's one of the biggest rivalries of all, and those two games were insane.
3 biggest rivalries
Alabama vs Auburn (iron bowl)
Tex vs Oklahoma (red river rivalry)
Michigan vs Ohio State
Most rivalries are teams from the same conference or same State ...
You completely forgot Army Navy
@@loganleroy8622 Nobody actually cares about Army-Navy it’s a meme
@@jacobwolfe6288 You clearly don’t understand how deep the rivalry goes. Literally every time a Freshman Midshipman turns a corner they have to say “Beat Army, sir” for the entire first year. When they play the Air Force Academy they still say “Beat Army”. Coaches in every sport are fired solely on their performance in the Army-Navy matchups. It’s called “America’s Game” for a reason. The pageantry for a neutral is great to watch, but for an actual supporter it is extremely brutal.
@@loganleroy8622 I know. I’m an Alabama fan and I watch every rivalry game. I know the traditions you don’t need to tell me. I’m telling you though, as people with both army (grandfather) and navy (uncle), that nobody cared. The egg bowl is better. Also, no vitriol in Army-Navy, good natured fun, not what college football is about
@@jacobwolfe6288 Respectfully, there's a difference between having been a soldier in the Army and graduating from West Point. It's the same as getting your Master's degree at Ohio St., after attending Miami (OH) for undergrad. Do you really care about the outcome of Ohio St.-Michigan? No. If you're a grad of one of these two schools it matters a great deal more.
Completely unbiased as I am a Texas fan, but to me the best rivalry in all of American sports is Ohio St vs Michigan. I don't know what it is about that game. Just something about the energy surrounding it feels different than even the national championship or even the Super Bowl to me. At times it feels like between those two schools that winning that game is the single most important thing either of them can do in a season. I would not be shocked if there are fans of Ohio St who look more fondly on a win over Michigan than a national championship win.
It's because it's based in a literal "war" that happened in the 1830's over Toledo, and the rivalry sprang from that.
You're correct in that the Michigan punter should have just fallen on the ball vs. trying to make a play. Michigan State would have had time for 1, maybe 2 plays, but they were likely out of field goal range and would have needed to gain yards and stop the clock to try one. A pass to the end zone from that distance (about the 40) is low percentage as well.
Most notorious rivalry in American sports is Ohio State - University of Michigan. Although Michigan also has a second large rivalry with Michigan State
The schools in the Southeast Conference have been playing each other for over 100 years. So that’s why Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida and Auburn all consider them rivals.
There are so many rivalries they left out. Too many to mention. Cover College Baseball and College Hockey as well.
Vanderbilt is located in Nashville, Tennessee, and is the overall highest rated academic institution in the Southeastern Conference (SEC). It is known more for it's academics rather than athletics.
Most of the great rivalries are eitheri within a state or between bordering states. And a lot of teams have more than one big rivalry.
The big ones that come to mind for me are
Ohio state vs Michigan
Texas vs Oklahoma
Auburn vs Alabama
Michigan vs MSU
Ole miss vs Miss state
NC State vs UNC
Georgia vs Florida
Texas vs Texas A&M
Notre Dame vs USC
South Carolina vs Clemson
West Virginia vs Pitt
Army vs Navy
6:37 it’s “The Big Game” rivalry between Stanford and UC Berkeley, both San Francisco Bay Area schools
Stanford thought they had won, so their band had already gone onto the field not knowing the final play was still alive 😂
In the 90's and early 2000's, the biggest rivalry games were between the 3 Florida schools: Miami, Florida State and Florida. Whoever won those games usually played for the national championship. But now all 3 teams are mediocre. But the state of Florida ran college football for over a decade.
You're definitely forgetting about Nebraska and Oklahoma in that time frame.
@@Gutslinger Yeah whoever won the state of Florida would play Nebraska for the National Championship. Oklahoma was good in the 80's then took the 90's off, then got good again in the 2000's.
Most of the good rivalries were in this video tbh. Texas v Oklahoma is a really big one and the only one (that I can think of) that’s played in a neutral site every year
Red river rivalry. Some awesome games between the two ✌
Georgia/Florida plays at a neutral site. But historically OU/Texas is a bigger rivalry with more at stake.
@@ryanjustice2670 Also another classic neutral site rivalry I missed is Army/Navy.
Nebraska-Oklahoma!...Wow!
Happiness is beating a hated rival.
The band on the field is a legendary moment. The game was Stanford vs Cal(California) and the band thought the one guy had been tackled and the game was over. They didn’t see that the guy was able to hand it to another guy before going down.
MLB season is still going strong.
Every south eastern conference game is a rivalry game haha
Nebraska and Oklahoma were the biggest rivalry in college football, back when they were in the same conference. Usually whoever won that game went on to win the National Championship.
Kansas and mizzou is an underrated rivalry lowkey but also nebraska iowa, texas oklahoma, florida and florida state, obviously michigan, ohio state, alabama gerogia and the inner state ones are good too like auburn alabama, kstate kansas, michigan state and michigan. I also think missouri arkansas is pretty underrated theyve played pretty close in football in recent years. But yeah there are tons of rivalries in college sports is lowkey hard to keep track of
The California vs Stanford play with the band on the field is considered the greatest play ever (even though one of the ball carrier's knee was probably on the ground).
Vanderbilt plays in most if not all sports but I would say their undoubtedly best and probably most recognizable for college baseball
Yes!
Depending on how great the recent year(s) of performances are (think Man U vs Man UTD when both are top 4 in the table)
- Georgia and Alabama
- Ohio State and Michigan
They are easily 1 and 1A right now.
But other elite all time rivalries are:
- Oklahoma vs Texas
- Alabama vs LSU
- Alabama vs Auburn
- USC vs UCLA
-Oklahoma vs Oklahoma State
- Michigan vs Michigan State
Etc.
There’s so many rivalries (most teams have at least one rival they play every year).
You want to get a feel of the craziness, and some of crazy stuff some fans do, watch 30 for 30 roll tide/war eagle its explains college rivals perfectly, put it this way the kick 6 Bama kicker got death threats..insane
You should definitely come to a University of Tennessee game. Tail gate from 9am - game time, Tennessee vs either bama or Georgia or Florida or even Bols vs Kentucky or Vs whoever. Cant go wrong with Neyland stadium in the fall. We start drinking and cooking bar bq around 10am and then goto the game at 3-8pm depending on the game. Then 6 hours of partying after the game. GO VOLS! GBO 🍊
Alabama vs Auburn very big and Florida Gators vs Georgia college football and college basketball are super exciting
I would say the Buckeyes and Wolverines are the biggest rivalry. Then again, I’m biased because my grandpa played for Woody Hayes so I’m a diehard Ohio State fan.
O-H!
Former Bears QB Jay Cutler and former Vikings DB Corey Chavous went to Vanderbilt.
4:37 Vanderbilt is a very prestigious school in Tennessee. Academically one of the best but no so much in football mostly because they play in a tough conference (The SEC).
Tennessee and Vanderbilt are very close in proximity and are rivals.
Tennessee always kicks their ass.
The trouble with the snap game, the player who made the touch down actually broke his hip on that play. The Michigan State, Michigan game week is very tense in the state. Your co workers and possible husbands and wives are on opposite sides all week .
6:49 arguably the greatest moment in college football history.
7:27 I remember watching that game and seeing Oklahoma State fans throwing trash at the Oklahoma Sooners players. Then a guy standing outside of the endzone tried to trip an Oklahoma player after they scored.
It cemented a negative outlook that I have of their fans now. Before that, I liked both teams, because I'm from Oklahoma.
In the famous Cal - Stanford game, the band started running on the field because they thought the game was over. It was an unusual situation that was very confusing for everyone watching live.
That band thought the game was over and they won, that’s why they were on the field
The best rivalries are those that have been around forever in which a win can save the head coach’s job for another year even if the team looses the rest of the games that year. That depends on each team individually. For OSU (OK), it’s OU they must win. For OU, it’s UT they must win. For UT, they must win OU. For TA&M, it’s UT they must win. Of the examples I listed above, where the rivalry game is against the same teams, OU vs UT. Neither team is located in Dallas, and this game sells out the Cotton Bowl Stadium every year no matter this season’s team records are before the game. The entire City of Dallas is aware of the game hosted on the second weekend of the Texas State Fair. The hotels are sold out that weekend months in advance.
Other rivalries of interest that have head coach job saving impacts are OSU(OH) vs MI, UA vs AU, USC vs UCLA, Army vs Navy. The team with the largest fan base is Norte Dame, and it’s rivalry game varies from year to year depending upon the Big 10 conference winner the previous year. It used to be independent of conference, so the big rivalry those years were with the highest ranked teams the year earlier.
Fans of most teams sort of follow Notre Dame example of not caring so much for history than who had the best record the year before. These so called rivalries do not have the get out of jail card for the head coach with a win with a loosing season.
There is a difference between big games for that season championship, upsets that occur, and a true rivalry game.
True rivalry games most often use to play in neutral stadiums, some still do. Those that still do are events all to themselves, where after every play half the fans are cheering and half the fans sit silent, but prior to the play all the fans were cheering. They are the best rivalry games to attend if you get the chance to do so.
As a Georgia fan, your personal biggest rival often depends on where in the state you are from. Though most would say Florida.
I am a GA fan too..... here in Augusta we have what's called the Border Bash when we play the Gamecocks... it gets the fans pumped for when we play each other (like today!) and it raises money for charity. However, I have always said, my two favorite college teams are UGA and whoever is whipping Florida's ass.
Facts back the fact that Ohio state and Michigan is the biggest rivalry in cfb as well as one of the biggest in all of sports I hate ttun go bucks
Vanderbilt is named after Cornelius Vanderbilt who was one of the richest men from shipping and rail transport. Biltmore Estates in North Carolina was his “house” which was the largest private residence in the US.
Georgia seems to have more rivals than a lot of other schools and a big part of which rivalry you care about most depends on geography within the state and age. Georgia Tech is our traditional rival but it hasn't exactly been the most competitive of late so younger fans tend to put it lower on the list. For those in South Georgia it's often Florida, in Augusta it can sometimes be South Carolina, Western Georgia it's Auburn, North Georgia it's Tennessee or Clemson.... Georgia tends to be within the top 2-3 rivals of a lot of schools around them.
I hope you guys still do some sports related stuff with the girls. It’s always interesting to hear perspectives from people not into sports.
Michigan Ohio State is probably the biggest, Alabama v Auburn is another, Texas v Oklahoma, Miami v Florida state, Florida v Georgia or V Florida state there used to be many more that have fell a bit since re alignment
Aiden, there are 128 Division I football teams. I doubt you know all of them, just learning the game.
It’s Auburn and Alabama hands down. People have literally been killed over the rivalry.
The Video ends w/ OJ S.
😢😮😂😢😢
Oj Simpson was THAT GUY in college. His career trajectory was top 10 ever if he didn’t do what he did
As a lifetime Vanderbilt University fan I have to say I'm not surprised you've never heard of them. Vanderbilt is a founding member of the SEC and the only private university in the conference. That basically means that they have a smaller undergraduate population, a slightly more strenuous set of requirements to be admitted and not as big of a fan base as the other schools. The football team is not known for consistently winning We go through long periods of bad seasons and then we'll have a new coach come in and they might be good for a couple of years and we'll get better and the coach moves to a bigger school.
Vanderbilt's baseball team is usually in the top 5 of the conference and often nationally ranked. They hda few National championships titles. They also do quite well in other sports that don't draw very large attendance such as tennis, golf, swimming..
The basketball teams are rebuilding they're usually competitive.
Vanderbilt fans think of Tennessee as the big rival because we sre the two SEC teams in the same state. However I don't think Tennessee thinks of us as a rival they think of Alabama as their number one rival. But they do hate it if they happen to lose a game to Vanderbilt in any sport so we'll take that.
Vanderbilt campus is near downtown Nashville. The Uni is known for their law and their medical schools Nashville was blessed to have three major medical centers in Vanderbilt is one of them. They have one of the best children's hospitals in the world.
Sometimes it's tough being a Vanderbilt fan but I love watching the SEC compete against other conferences so that makes it worthwhile.
Ohio n Michigan yup but lots teams in SEC have great rivalry s
Holy shit an Ohio State fan made a video!! Now I’ve seen everything! I didn’t think they knew how to use a computer
College football rivalries? There's like 500 hundred College footbalk programs out there. Now you got like 400 different fans recommending their school and their rivalry lol. It makes for fun Saturdays though. Do NFL Rivalries next.
No, there are about 125 and only about 25 teams have a history of winning.
NFL rivalries don't really exist much nowadays.
@aregua188 yes they do. It's been the same division rivals for years. Look at the NFC East, a different team wins that division every season.
Are you following West Virginia because of the Pat McAfee Show?
Stunned that BYU-Utah wasnt on this video
Harvard - Yale is the oldest rivalry
More CFB!
Utah v BYU mate. The holy war
There are many fantastic rivalry contests in American college football.
Only *one* is referred to simply as The Game.
#! UC Berk VS Stanford... like 5 laterals then the Stanford band came on to the field thinking game over!
The guy score and runs over the Tuba player! So cool. #2 Saban (Alabama coach) argued that he still had 0.001
left on clock, so after review the refs agreed. This set up like a 55 yard attempt. It was short and the Auburn
guy returned it 106 yards for the score to win! Alabama was #! Auburn #4 great finish/game!
Vanderbilt is in Nashville Tennesssee
Ga tech vs georgia is one of the oldest and biggest rivalries
The Rams actually moved back to LA after being in St Louis for 20 years 1995-2015
College football and basketball are more fun to watch than the pros.
Vanderbilt is an elite university in Nashville, Tennessee. They are a very good academic school.
Michigan v Ohio State is the biggest rivalry. Most games between with each in top 5. Always the most viewed game of th season.
Both of those auburn wins were a week from eachother I think first was Georgia then the iron bowl return
Texas's biggest rival was Texas A&M, not Tech. They'll be in the same conference this year for the first time in 13 years.
I'm not sure what the biggest rivalry is but I'm sure it involves civil lawsuits any time they play. But I just know the rivalries my school, the University of Utah, has. Locally it's still BYU, within the PAC12, I'd have to say University of Oregon. Dunno why, but it seems when ever we play them things are cranked up a notch on intensity. Nothing against U of Oregon, and you might not think the U of U is your rival, but that's how I'm seeing things.
In basketball it’s definitely UNC/Duke but in football I think it has to be Michigan/OSU or Alabama/Auburn
I’m a Tennessee fan. But Vanderbilt is a university in Nashville. It’s basically the Harvard of the south.
