More click bait, don't bother.  It's an OK list, I guess, but some of these players of course will fail to shine and others will.
list has it's issues- as will every list like this...but it's 10x better than that garbage 247 tried to shit out lol.

That list seems pretty reasonable to me, at first blush.

45+ Worst Colleges and Universities in America Ranked – avocadoposts

I was surprised to see Texas and Wisconsin on this list.  But lists often are click bait.  Duh.

They even have MLB "rankings" now.  OK then.  Standings, sure, but rankings?

"We" want everything ranked.

Yeah, UGA-UF should be ahead of Auburn, and South Carolina shouldn't be there at all.  I guess you reeally run out after about 15.  Whatever.

MSU was more often than M, but now that they have to play all of those ACC games, the ones against the B1G schools waned.

Pitt-WVU has no business being on any list....sorry. 

UGA-UF should be #3....why is that behind UGA-Auburn? Da fk?

BAMA-Tenn was a really good rivalry until Tennessee went into the freaking tank and sucked ass for eons. Maybe it's coming back?

Yeah I've never really thought of MSU-ND as a rivalry although they're met 79 times.

UM-ND seems like more of one, but they've only played something like 43 times.  And it seems like most of the really good rivalries formed much of their lore during the "Golden Era" of college football in the 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s, but Michigan and ND only played 4 times in those entire 4 decades
