Pick WVU-Pitt as College's Best Rivalry!!!
Page 2 has a rivalry Sweet Sixteen tournament where you can vote for rivalries which will battle until a top rivalry is chosen. WVU/Pitt is seeded #12 on the list. We played each other as early as 1895! Choose WVU/Pitt as the best rivalry.

No VT/UVA? Well, I guess it would be borderline...but we've been playing those bastards from Hoo-ville since 1895 as well. If they hadn't quit playing us after our first win in 1905 (resumed in 1923) we'd have a 100+ game history with them.

Michigan-OSU is the only rivalry worth mentioning thus far in this thread

How do you mean "worth mentioning"? How many are "worth mentioning"? Five? If you argue that WVU/Pitt isn't in the top five, ok, fine. Personally, I think that you'd be biased towards more recent football days (check out WVU/Pitt during the 50's and 70's when WVU is winning 10 games a year, Pitt has heisman winners, Bowden has to win at Pitt, etc.) but that's fine I guess. But ESPN themselves thinks that WVU/Pitt is the 12th best in the game. That leads me to believe that I am not delusioned by being a flaming WVU fanboy into thinking that it's a good rivalry. And it will have more significance in the coming years as WVU and Pitt battle for Big East titles after the posers leave. -Anxiety

No way WVU-Pitt is the best rivalry. Sorry.

I'm a pretty big college football fan. Been watching for well over 20 years. Granted, I'm a Big Ten guy, but until this year I didn't even know Pitt/WVU were even rivals. |

Its all about bedlam.
EDIT: Oklahoma and Texas are not rivals anywhere near the level of OU/OSU.

I played football at WVU and wouldn't consider the Pitt rivalry one of the top 5 in college football. It would make my top 10, but there's probably rivalries on the west coast that I don't know anything about.

It's a crime that they didn't include Minnesota/Wisconsin in there, it's the longest running game in college football. That's gotta be worth something.

Pitt-WVU is good but ranked probably right. When I was a little kid, Pitt-Penn State was always a bigger game than Pitt-WVU before Penn State went to the Big Ten.

I don't really have a problem with ESPN's rankings at all. Come talk to me when they do college basketball.
