and i think that the game will be closer than people think and texas will be a lot better than people think, texas still has an outstanding running game, a good passing game, an awesome defense although they lost a few key guys...and the new qbs arent bad at all they can pull their weight i can see texas going undeafeated, it all hinges on the Ohio St. gameR.I.P Van Halen 1978-1984

Since Texas plays North Texas the first week, OSU will probably be favored no matter what. Anyway, the Defense should be much better this year. Still I would have ranked them and would have preferred to have them ranked no higher than 5th or 6th going into the season.Originally posted by Redballjets88

Texas will not be near as good this year as they were last year. You can't lose a player of Vince Young's caliber and not expect to take a big hit. I think they'll still have a good season, but no National Championship this year for the 'Horns.Comment

Sorry bro, but I'm going to HAVE to disagree with that statement. You don't have to put up with your rival 24/7..365 days a year. Here they are your co-workers, your family, your friends, your fuckin' mayor. Alabama vs. Auburn is the most INTENSE rivalry around. People have shot each other over this fucking rivalry...I'm not shitting you! I'm not saying I agree with such behavior, but that shit happens.Originally posted by POJO_Risin
Well...here we go....
and why Ohio State v. Michigan is far and away the best rivalry in college athletics today.

Feel free to disagree...you'd just be wrong...
Not by much...but you'd be wrong.
The difference you are talking about is an in-state difference...I get that...and there are no other major universities in Ohio...so no big deal...
but it's been a State vs. State rivalry at the level you are talking about...and above that...has had national considerations yearly since 1960ish....nearly every year...and the years that National Titles aren't up for grabs...certainly the big 10 game...
Maybe at a daily Hatfield vs. McCoy (???) way...
but no way...you are kidding yourself...if you think that when it comes to the game...there is anywhere near as much hate that boils over then when these two teams face each other.
It's impossible to describe, and it's impossible to compete...
but there is no other rivalry that equals in level, stakes and pure unadulterated hatred...
as Michigan-OSU."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment

I'll disagree and be nowhere near wrong. :D Hell, it got so rough at one point with Auburn and Alabama that they had to suspend the series because of fighting at the game among the fans. Of course historically the National Title implications have been on the Alabama side many times more than the Auburn side, but since 1960...well that's 7 National Titles that 'Bama could have lost if Auburn had beat them.Comment

my team is texas and always has been, but Alabama is my second favorite, and while i'd love for Texas OU or texas v Texas a&m to be the greatest rivalry, or even 'bama v auburn Ohio St. Michigan is the best rivalry, like the saying one of my best friends is a die hard michigan fan, and when michigan and ohio st play its like a religious expierence at that house no one comes no one goes and his dad might kill someone if something goes wrong in the game. IMO the best rivalrys go like this
1. michigan v ohio st
2. Army v Navy
3. Alabam Auburn
4. Texas v Texas a&m
5. Florida v Florida st.
6. Texas v OU
and the rest are really closeR.I.P Van Halen 1978-1984

40% of their games have a direct result in the outcome of the Big 10 champion...
and that doesn't include Big 10 titles won...where the winner or loser of the game isn't effected...
and...since all of the games I listed were after 1935...that means that these 41 games...
are out of the past 71 years...

Michigan's all time winning percentage in the Big 10 is .700...
so is OSU's...
the next highest?
Illinois at .470..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment
