The Florida schools all play each other every year and are not all in the same conference Florida-Miami hasn’t been played annually for the past 30 years. But yes there are several match ups like that. Iowa-Iowa State, Georgia-Georgia Tech. Quote Link to comment

Florida state and miami played every year even when Miami was big east. Your right about Miami and Florida, but they have played each other like 75% of the years since like 1938 just since the late 80s did it become sporadic Quote Link to comment

Red Five Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I subscribe to the theory that a team can have multiple rivals. And I think a rival is a game that has meaning to both fan bases most years. Oklahoma, Colorado, Missouri, Kansas St, and even Texas were all our rivals in the Big 12 imo. In the Big 10, I think rivals are developing with Iowa, Wisconsin, and Ohio St. Quote Link to comment

Ou did NOT want yo play us every year and they didn’t care if they threw away our rivalry. They openly stated that Texas is their rival. Quote Link to comment

I'm not disputing what you are saying, they are on record saying that i'm pretty sure. However i am disputing that OU did as much as you seem to think they did. The rivalry largely met its demise thanks to meeting Texas' very substantial demands, Oklahoma not caring and even wanting to avoid us guaranteed no cross division rivalry format like we had in BIG 10 version 1.0. And for the bolded part, there were Big XII north schools who were more involved, and made more of an effort than OU was to see Texas added. 1 Quote Link to comment

Care to explain? oU literally met with Texas alone and secretly long before any other big 8 team was even informed. They hashed out the blue print they wanted to get Texas in. What northern team did more than that?. Quote Link to comment

Michigan for 5 in a row starting in 2021, and we play both in 21 and 24. In 21 we get MSU, Mich and OSU. In 24 we get Mich and OSU in back to back weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment
Apsu Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 2 hours ago, ColoradoHusk said: I actually think the Iowa game works best as the final game of the regular season, especially if played on Black Friday. It’s closer to Lincoln/Omaha and makes it easier to travel after Thanksgiving. You're probably right, but my comment comes from a person where Rutgers is the only conference stadium that is three and a half hours away. Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I have viewed Wisconsin as our most important game every year since joining the Big Ten. I care way more about them than Iowa - and so do college football viewers (look at the ratings). Regardless, true rivalries are built over time - all of this talk is meaningless. Future games and standings will determine who our rival is - right now we don’t have one. 3 Quote Link to comment
