Alabama and Auburn Through The Decades
Notre Dame was so impressed that they decided to cancel their games with Army and pick up Navy instead, assuring themselves at least one essentially 1-AA opponent each year under the guise of patriotism...

Mike, I apologize for the repeat, but the way some of these posts get moved around, it would have been hard to point out to whom I had previously responded that you could refer to it.
Contrast that with the SEC, where half the teams have 50% or greater conference winning percentage. That would tend to indicate more parity.
I didn't look at any other conferences yet. It would be fun if you could break out old Big 8 records from current Big 12 records to see how dominant OU and Nebraska were...
Realistically, Penn St should be in the Big East; they should never have been allowed by the Big East to join the Big Televen. Penn St was actually once invited to join. When put to a vote, their invitation was turned down, and Pitt was instrumental in making that happen. Mike Tranghese even told his commissioners ". . .they would rue the day they didn't elect Penn St to join the Big East.
We've all seen what's happened since. While there have been attempts to renew the series, through the Big East, Joe Pa has always countered with specific demands, which apparently Pitt will not accept. So, sadly, until Joe goes, there'll be no Penn St/Pitt rivalry renewal.
Arkansas never had rivalries with Auburn and Alabama and LSU, but I'd say that they're learning to appeciate them now...
You Eeers don't really have a choice but to foster new rivalries. Have you checked conference alignments lately? No more Penn State or VA Tech or Boston College on the schedule. They've been replaced with Cincinatti and Louisville.
I'm thinking that I'd take Minnesota and Michigan State...
Just look at Florida-FSU, Georgia-GA Tech...
If anybody was around back then and witnessed these events in real time I would enjoy learning more.

While we're on the subject of movies, here's a possible future thread to consider. How many non-college football movies actually referred to college football during the movie? Every now and then, we'll watch a movie and in it people are at a bar watching baseball, basketball, even hockey. Some show people in their living rooms watching these games. When was the last time any movie referenced a college football game in some way, let alone the results?
If we had to limited it to football movies, maybe we could quote Rudy, but I just thought that movie was a little sappy...
I bet you have it on DVD, right?
:-)
But #2 on the list above is Notre Dame - Navy
Being that Iowa State had three different series that would have ranked on this list, I wonder if they might not be better off in the Mountain West or something...

Thought I would get one last shot in before we play them. :O)
Then again, they didn't have "blogs" when I was 16. JB, where do you live?
And Bevo_boy, work hard on that golf game my man. It's starting to pay big on the tour! Wish I woulda started that young. I might even be scratch by now.

I went to Winnfield Sr High from '84 to '86. Move to Texas because of Dad's work between my Jr and Sr year and graduated from Bay City High.
LOL @ WEA ( 7 posts below this one, btw) ....Don't think I'm his uncle but I do understand what you're trying to imply. FWIW, that Uncle/Husband and Sister/Wife stuff only happens in Alabamaaaaaaa.

This does prevent the margin hugging for the 10th+ layers.
As for the alternative forking genealogies, NW Florida has its share. Then again we are called LA, Lower Alabama.
Cheers from the Red Neck Riviera!
My Pop always taught me to say Mr before an elders name. It's a respect thing.

It's also the same reason that the list doesn't reflect Tennessee over Vanderbilt or Florida over Tennessee...
J/K about the last one...
We still have the all-time series lead on you, which is remarkable, especially considering that you wouldn't even come to Auburn to play us until 1980. We had to play at Legion Field for OUR home games, and we know who's stadium that was...
Two-horse race in the west this year, but anything is possible. If we hold serve against the purple Tigers in Auburn this year, we should be fine...
Get A Life Losers.
Last I checked ND had the biggest NROTC contingent of any school in the country so I'm pretty sure that's a great reason to keep this thing going.
Oh and btw didja know that Navy basically took over the campus in WWII.
