</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><!-- end cube wrapper --><LI>1. Florida State-Miami: Now that the schools are in the same league, this takes over the No. 1 spot. These teams have won a combined seven national titles (one shared) since 1983.



<LI>2. Michigan-Ohio State: These teams have won or tied for the Big Ten title 28 times in the past 35 seasons, but that hasn't equated to overall national success, as these teams have combined for just two national titles (one shared) since 1969.



<LI>3. Alabama-Auburn: The Iron Bowl. This is the nastiest rivalry in all of sports. After all, there actually have been deaths, but it's not No. 1 on this list because those teams generally aren't in the national-title hunt.



<LI>4. Army-Navy: Tradition and pageantry galore. But the last time this truly mattered to those who don't have a stake in the game was the early 1960s.



<LI>5. Oklahoma-Texas: Of late, "The Red River Shootout" has been one-sided. Still, it's intense, and it's also one of the last neutral-site games remaining.



<LI>6. Florida-Florida State: For a while, this was the game in college football. Every season between 1990 and 2000, each of these teams was in the top 10 when the game was played, and five of those games had a direct bearing on who played for the national title.



<LI>7. Texas-Texas A&M: There are some Longhorns who would rather beat the dreaded Aggies than the Sooners.



<LI>8. Oregon-Oregon State: Known as "The Civil War," it's usually anything but in the field and in the stands.



<LI>9. BYU-Utah: Far nastier than you'd think because of the religious overtones. Heck, the rivalry's nickname is "The Holy War."


10. California-Stanford: This is known -- in more than a bit of hyperbole -- as "The Big Game." At its core, it's smart public-school kids vs. smart private-school kids. [/font]

...And now that the ACC is reconfigured, Miami and Florida State are going to suffer the same in-league difficulties that tOSU and scUM do. They won't be able to pad their schedule with weak Big East teams and compile big winning percentages. The days of going undefeated into the BCS are over for those guys. They can count on a lot of seasons with 1 or 2 losses purely attributable to the tougher competition they must play in their new league.

Welcome to our world, Coach Coker.
