Today the border between Iowa and Missouri is probably the least populated part of each state,  because its populated now with small Amish communities.  This is probably another reason why there is no big rivalry today between Iowa and Missouri.

i'll disagree with this some. i'm a bama fan first, and a cfb fan second. my interest would definitely fade some if bama were dissolved. i'd still watch games, sure, no doubt. but on weekends bama is on bye or not playing, it's rare that i plan my weekend around a game. i just catch them when i can. i figure i'd probably become a fan in that sense.

either that, or i'd pick up one of the teams i have a soft spot for (psu, uab, troy, marshall) and start following them heavily.

everything else you spoke to is a great explanation why i think cfb is much better than the nfl. sure, the best cfb talent goes to nfl and its fun to watch the best of the best. but the nfl game is so... vanilla or something. all seem the same, just who's slightly better at the moment. which is fun for a tournament (why nfl playoff is so much fun), but kinda sucks not having the differentiation for the season. jmo
This, by my reckoning, is the result of being as good as yall have been for damn near a generation now.  Once Saban leaves and/or the NIL portal combo takes a toll and bama becomes mere mortals again you'll realize your team winning is not as important as the game itself.  At least, this has been my experience.

Okay, here's how crazy I am with this:

I had a repeated dream last night.  It's the end of the day in my classroom, the students are cleaning up and getting ready to go home, and an office staff person enters my room with a note.  This happens often, the note being any number of things - not important here.

So I usually play some kind of non-descript music during this time, as the room is abuzz and our academic day is over. 

In this dream, this scene plays out 5-6 different times, but it's the same thing over and over.....and the music playing in the background each time?
Rocky Top.

It's Tennessee week. 
It's in my subconscious. 
If that's not evidence I'm a college football nut, nothing is.

A key component of the PSU rivalry though is that we have to outwardly state that we don't consider it to be a rivalry at all.

It really gets them worked up into a tizzy.
It is kinda funny because Ohio State and Michigan are both obviously each other's biggest rival but each us also the unreciprocated biggest rival for another school (PSU and MSU respectively).

@OrangeAfroMan , you'll enjoy this and it fits in this thread:

I am so glad the Citrus Bowl is called the Citrus Bowl again.  This joke was ruined for years when it changed its named to the Capitol One Bowl.
