OT: Greatest rivalries in sports
After watching the special on Auburn vs Alabama on ESPN, I was thinking about the greatest rivalries in sports, not just college football. Although strangely enough, college football seems to have quite a few of the top rivalries in sports. So, for speculation purposes, I made my Top 10 rivalries in sports, and these are in order of the fiercest.
1. Michigan vs TSIO
2. Redsox vs Yankees
3. Army vs Navy
4. Auburn vs Alabama
5. North Carolina vs Duke
6. Nicklaus vs Palmer
7. Borg vs McEnroe
8. Giants vs Dodgers
9. Harvard vs Yale
10. Barcelona vs Real Madrid

Hey fellas.
Lil bros will come out crying and argue that Michigan-MooU should be up there as well. According to the knuckleheads, it's bigger than Michigan-tSIO.

Probably one of the greatest and most respected rivalries, but just in the category of fierceness, I would move it down the list.
