  Speaker 1: The college football calendar is made up of a bunch
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: of different seasons. Of course, there is the regular season
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: and the postseason, but there's also the transfer portal season,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Spring football season, summer camp season, fall camp season. But
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: there's also this narrow window here between the summer camps
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: in June and media days in late July. I like
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to think of this as list season. This is when
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: you always see lots of people making the lists of
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the best college football venues or the greatest college football dynasties.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: This is a list of the greatest college football rivalries
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: and it's been done by our buddy, Garrett Seawright of
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the Daily Huddle podcast. If you enjoy that, make sure
• 1:00

• 1:02
  Speaker 1: at all the places you find buck us. Tomorrow morning,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: here's a look at Garrett taking a look at some
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: of the greatest rivalries in college football.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Part of the fun of college football is.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Sometimes it's just fun to hate somebody something, the other side,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: whatever the case may be, and they're not be like
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: super big, real world repercussions for doing so. It's all
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: of the fun of politics without affecting people's lives. You
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: get to pick out who you just despise, who you
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: don't want to see succeed. Your favorite team hates this
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: other team, and that's one of the big fun.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Parts about college football, and I think it's what makes
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: it great.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: I hate when people will tell you, oh, the Yankees,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Red Sox, it's one of the biggest rivalries in sports.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: No, I ain't.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Their fans might like hate each other, not even they
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: dislike each other, but the players don't really hate one another.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: A Lakers, Celtics, Packers, Bears. Shut up. It's got nothing
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: on college football. Why, I don't rightly.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Know, because it is. At the end of the day,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: it's still just sports.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: But the Athletic has released their list of the top
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: twenty five college football rivalries, and believe it or not,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: I think there are some issue areas and I have
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: some issues with their rankings.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Number one, they have a higher state Michigan. I don't
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: have an issue there.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: It is a game that decides the future, the fate
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: and the legacy of the coaches and players who play
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: in it. There's a sizeable portion of the Ohio State
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: fan base who will tell you the Ryan Day should
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: have been fired after they lost to Michigan last year.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: He went on to win the National championship.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: And there's still probably a decent amount of people who
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: would tell you they don't care about the National championship,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: the guy should still be fired because he hasn't beaten
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Michigan since twenty nineteen. I think those people are crazy.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: By the way, I thought they were crazy. I on
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: this podcast said Ryan Day isn't and shouldn't be fired
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: after losing to Michigan. But that is a game that
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: defines legacies at both of those schools. It serves to
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: be number one on the list. Auburn Alabama sure is
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: a hot rivalry. I have some friends who went to
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: the University of Alabama and some friends who grew up
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: in Alabama, would say, like, basically kind of transplants. Like
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: one of my friends her dad went to the University
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: of Dayton, her mom is from Alabama, and basically like
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: on their second date was like Auburn or Alabama. He's like,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm from Chicago and she's like Auburn
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: or Alabama and he has to choose. It's a pretty
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: big rivalry to deserve to be number two on the list.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: That's up for you to decide. My big issue with
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: SEC rivalries. By the way, if you look through these
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: top twenty five list, Alabama is on here three times.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Can you really be the second biggest rivals in the sport, Alabama?
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: If you're also on here for your rivalry against Tennessee
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: and your rivalry against LSU, I find that somewhat difficult
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: to believe. Similarly, Michigan is on here three times. Is
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Michigan Notre Dame one of the top twenty five rivalries
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: in the sport?
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I don't think so.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: I'm also here to tell you that Ohio State Penn
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: State is not the eighth best rivalry in the sport.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: I believe that Ohio State and Penn State are rivals.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Penn State believes they are unrival, and Ohio State fans
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: will tell you they care so much about the game
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: against Michigan that they don't have time to worry about
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: whether or not Penn State is a rival. And that
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: to me kind of like Cement's Ohio State Michigan is
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: the top rivalry in the sport.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: It's like there are.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: People who are like, all these two arrivals, and then
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: one fan base says, I can't even be bothered to
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: pay attention to that school because I care so much
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: about what my chief rival is doing. You can't say
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: that for Alabama. If you're going to tell me that
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Alabama Tennessee is number eleven and Alabama LSU is number thirteen,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: I find it difficult that Alabama AUPERA would be number two.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I think Army Navy should probably be number two. I
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: think that is oh boy, that is everything that is
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: wrong with I beg your pardon. Is right with rivalries
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: where it's not built on.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Hate, it's built on respect, And I think there's probably
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: a little bit of.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: That in the.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Ohio State Michigan rivalry, where they absolutely respect one another
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: and then they absolutely unequivocally hate one another. Army Navy
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: is strictly completely built on respect, and I think that
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: that's really admirable, where Auburn, Alabama, feels like it's maybe
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: built strictly on hate.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Where Auburn is viewed as.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Somewhat the little brother in the state, Alabama was the
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: big dog on the block. Auburn is Alabama state if
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: racism didn't exist. It's this weird dynamic that you know,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Alabama fans believe the Auburn fans are in bred Hicks, ironny.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: But Army Navy is kind of the exact opposite of
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: all of that, and I think that deserves a place.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: There is a really underrated rivalry on this list, and
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: it's Kansas Missouri. Kansas Missouri is hate on a kind
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: of like whole different level that goes back working on
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Echine closer to one hundred and fifty one hundred sixty years.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: We're going back a ways for Kansas Hayton, Missouri and
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Missouri Hayton, Kansas. And while they have not like I
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: think if you look through this list right that you
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: see some of the blue bloods of the sport, and
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: I think there's a difference between biggest blue blood rivalries
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: and biggest rivalries because some of the top college football
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: rivalries are not based on the best teams, Like Indiana
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: and Purdue really hate each other. They're not very good
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: at football all that often, but they hate each other
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: like a lot, just as much as Auburn Alabama. Now.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know if anybody from Purdue has poisoned to
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Hoosier's tree or anything like that, but Indiana and Purdue
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: sure don't like one another, and Kansas and Missouri definitely
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: don't like one another. And so you can, like, if
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: you are ranking that based on Kansas and Missouri not
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: all that great at football all that frequently, that I
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: understand it. But if it's just like hotly contested rivalries,
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Kansas and Missouri is as hot as it gets. There's
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: also no Pit West Virginia on here. And I know
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: people who went to Pitt. I know people who are
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Pit fans, know people who went to West Virginia.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: West Virginia fans.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: They don't mess with one another because you went to Pitt,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: or you like Pitt or you There are words that
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: they say about mountaineers where there are two letters added
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: between the words Mountain and ears.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: They they don't like West Virginia.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Pitt, West Virginia absolutely one hundred percent deserves to be
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: on this list. At the same time, I think you
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: have to go through and say, Okay, which ones don't
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: deserve to be on the list. If you're going to
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: start adding Pitt, West Virginia, you're gonna start adding any
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: litany of these. You have to say, Okay, what comes out.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Minnesota and Wisconsin deserve to be on the list. Whether
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: it's number ten, I don't know. I think Minnesota Wisconsin
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: is somewhat in that same kind of triumvirate of Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: where like everybody Alburn hates Georgia, Georgia hates Florida. Florida
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: hates Lsulf she hates Alabama. It's all weird, where like
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Minnesota Wisconsin don't like each other, Minnesota and Iowa don't
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: like each other, Iowa Nebraska don't like each other. It
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: feels just like there's like a lot of different It's
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: the it's always sunny in Philadelphia chalkboard scene where you
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: got lines drawn from all over the place. Like it's
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: just I don't know, there's a lot to unpack there. Florida,
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Georgia feels a little low to me number twelve. I
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: also I think Michigan Notre Dame doesn't deserve to be
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: on the list. I remember the old Mark may quote
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: where he was.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Like, I watched Michigan and Notre Dame play each other
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: when I was a kid, blah blah blah.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: I was like, well, they didn't play for like forty
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: five years. So Washington Oregon is a rivalry. Whether it's
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: one of the top twenty five rivalries in the sport,
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Harvard Gale feels like it doesn't really
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: belong on a top college football rivalries. Kids like we're
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: going FCS. I know, you could probably make the argument
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: that there are bigger and better FCS rivalries than Harvard.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Deal if it was nineteen twenty five instead of twenty
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: twenty five, Yes, deal, big time rivalry. I don't know
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: if it's a rivalry Notre Dame Navy. It's not a
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: rivalry per se, but it sure is a great game
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: every year. And the idea that Notre Dame still to
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: this day is like, hey, appreciate you keeping us open.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: During World War Two, to thank you. We'll play every year.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Sometimes hell will even come to the greater Annapolis region.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: We'll play in Baltimore if you'd like, We'll play in
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: New York. If you'd like, you get to be the
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: home team. That's fine. I think that's a cool tradition,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: maybe more than rivalry. But I want to know your thoughts.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: If you run down this list of college football's biggest rivalries,
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: which rivalries are in the wrong spot?
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Are they too high? They too low? Who is not
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: on the list? I'll pound the table.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Kansas Missouri deserves to be way higher because while the
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: football is always good, those are two fan bases too,
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: states that hate each other to the core. And if
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: you kind of like people hating one another, which it's
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: sometimes fun to think about people hating one another in
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: situations like this, Kansas Missouri deserves to be way higher
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: on the list. Want to know your thoughts, though, drop
• 12:19
