I can relate.  If you ask most Iowa fans who it's main rivals are,  they will tell you Minn, Wisc, Neb and Iowa State.

BUT I grew up in southeast Iowa.  I grew up hating Illinois.  Before the internet and cable tv,  the only way to get the scores from that day's games was watching the local news at 10pm.  And we got our local news from Quincy Illinois.  So they always gave the Illinois score first,  then eventually the Iowa scores.  I hated Illinois, but ironically, now live in the Chicago suburbs.
older Iowans hate Mizzou, but the hate was strong enough they quick playing them and caused it to cool
wouldn't take only a home & home for it to fire up again

Iowa fans don't like anybody

That was done at the time Wisconsin didn't have a vet school and Minnie didn't have something UW did.
Today I Learned: The U of Wisconsin didn't have a vet school until 1983. For the state's land grant university, that's a huge surprise.

Also, the reciprocity agreements date to at least the 1973-74 school year, much earlier than I thought. Likely a result of Wendy Anderson's Minnesota Miracle.

I think where you live/work and who you live/work among is probably a big factor. 

For any Ohio State fan, Michigan is the obvious #1 but those things still impact #2. I think if I lived and worked in Pittsburgh amongst a bunch of PSU fans I'd probably see PSU as really above #2, more like 1b.

Interestingly Iowa and Missouri actually had a little war once in the 1830's fighting over where was the actual border between the 2 states.

Tax agents from Missouri tried to collect taxes in southern Iowa counties along the border.  The Iowa residents, allegedly carrying pitchforks, chased away the tax collectors who, legend has it, chopped down three honey bee trees to collect the honey for partial payment.  The little skirmish became known as the Honey War.  Eventually the border dispute between Iowa and Missouri had to be settled by the U.S. Supreme court.

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.

TSUN (That school up North)


Penn State - A very distant 2nd


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.
