WVU-Pitt
Missouri-Kansas
OU-Nebraska
Michigan-Notre Dame
A&M-Texas will presumably be back

This game lost a lot of juice because of one teams regression, but I always used to enjoy the Boston College vs. Notre Dame game.
Felt like BC always played up that Saturday and gave the Irish fits.

The 1993 ND-BC game is a game that is burned into my memory.

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.

The best backyard brawl. Sweet Rich Rod tears

But if WVU had won, they would have been the opponent in the Superdome, rather than LSU, for the BCS Title game after the 2007 season. Buckeye football, and possibly TTUN football, could have been very different if Pitt didn’t win that Brawl.
