Not how rivalries are defined. Before the split into divisions, Illinois was OSU's longest continuous rivalry. Doesn't mean it was always competitive.

Because we had played Illinois every year from to 1914 to 2002. We've even had the Illibuck Trophy since 1925. Still, as @Mike80 point out above, Gold Pants are given out for only one opponent, and the countdown clock is for only one opponent. No Ohio State fan suffers all off-season over a loss to Illinois. Only one opponent caused us to have a fucking carpet with the previous year's score put at the entrance of the training facility. I'll give you a hint, it's not Illinois, and it's not Penn State.

Michigan is the only B1G team with a winning record against OSU. PSU has the best winning percentage against OSU out of all the other B1G teams.

JFC. First you say records between the teams are "Not how rivalries are defined", then you turn right around and use PSU's "best winning percentage against OSU out of all the other B1G teams" as justification for you position that they are indeed a rival.

Just for shits and grins, here are our records against all the "Big 10" teams (left out charter member Chicago):
Illinois 0.311 30-69-4
Indiana 0.159 12-74-5
Iowa 0.254 15-47-3
Michigan State 0.311 14-31-0
Minnesota 0.135 7-45-0
Northwestern 0.191 14-61-1
Purdue 0.268 14-40-2
Wisconsin 0.250 18-59-5

Penn State's 8-18 conference comes out to a .308 winning percentage, which is less than the .311 winning percentage for both Illinois and Michigan State, which proves your claim of Penn State having the "best winning percentage against OSU out of all the other B1G teams" to be bullshit, just like the rest of your arguments.

Arkansas is our #2 rival.

It's a cold #2 but it still applies.
