With CFB changing so radically over the last decade, the sport no longer resembles what it once was. Intense local/regional rivalries have been snuffed out and that sucks. Post some of the rivalries from days of yore that no longer play or are a shell of what they once were.
For me:
Pitt-WVU: "The Backyard Brawl" was always pretty regional, but in it's heyday, it was intense. I remember it being a must watch in the 80's.
OU-Nebraska: There was a time this would be in the discussion for biggest rivalry in CFB. It was a huge game annually. It started to drop off in the 90s when OU fell into mediocrity. By the time OU rejoined the living, Corn began its descent into irrelevance. I remember the games from the 80's and they were nuts
Nebraska-Colorado: It's hard to believe now, but Colorado was indeed a national power for the better part of a decade from the late-80's to the mid-90's. Their annual tilt with Corn typically had conference and national title implications. Great rivalry for a short time.
Miami-FSU: this was annually a matchup of top-5 teams and a must watch from the late-80s til the mid-90's. Huge, huge game each year. Miami died in January 2003 and FSU has been up and (mostly) down for 20 years. This has become just another game, but for a while it was an amazing rivalry.
