As a college football fan have many to choose from. If I had to choose one, it would be Georgia-Florida because of how much fun the fans have and the great scenery.
Funniest college football memory was when Georgia opponent (can't remember who its was) was running down the sideline and UGA, the Georgia Bulldog mascot who usually just lays around, went right for the guys jewels.

These are just my favorite sports rivalries. I think the Redsox Yankee rival is the best in all sports.

I'm glad you explained that those were your favorite rivalries, because a couple of them aren't considered anywhere near the top rivalries nationally. Brewers vs. Cubs? ???
Anyway...moving on...
I can't think of another rivalry nationally that has had more impact on American sports culture than Yankees-Red Sox...in any sport...
Bears-Packers would probably come close to the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry because of the rich tradition between those two teams.
FSU-Gators is huge, Attend a game at the swamp and you will know what I mean!

That was against Auburn, I've seen the clip of it before, I'll try to find it.
And the best college rivalry is Michigan vs. Ohio State in football.

I voted Broncos-raiders.
Just a long history of hate there from the front office on down. Of course, with free agency I think almost all rivalries lost a little something as far as players go.
In college, I'd have to go with Miami/FSU in football, and UNC/Duke in B-ball.

obviously i voted broncos/raiders, and its always a nice topic to discuss, but man there are some holes on that list.
no offense at all, but you need to include a little more in bball.
obviously this was a professional rivalry list and thats all good, but only one bball rivalry?
and the pistons/pacers?
thats not even a rivalry. its one embarrassing game.
the greatest basketball rivalry was boston/los angeles.
more recently there's been many others, but thats the biggie.

I don't know about all time, I just know what I consider to be huge ones to me:
Broncos vs. Raiders.....I've said it many times, if Denver went 2-14 on the year and those two wins were against the Fade, I'd still consider it a successful season....I hate that team with a passion.
Expos vs. Braves - When Montreal was still Montreal, there were a few years where they could've broken on through to the post season, if it wasn't for this arrogant bunch in Atlanta trying to be the Yankees of the NL. I grew to hate them more and more with each passing year......now, the NL East means nothing to me anymore, but I still resent and hate the Braves.
Now that I'm firmly in the Pirates camp....the Cubs seem to be a huge nemesis, can't seem to beat those guys.
Flyers vs Devils I can't stand the f'n Devils, nuff said

If you think you are hating them now, just wait until next year when they are torching your secondary

Just a few short years ago Wings/Avs was voted the fiercest rivalry on a national level.
It fades since all the ice has melted in the rinks. But back in the day even people with only marginal awareness of hockey knew the intensity of every single game played between those two teams.

if it makes you feel better to live pre 1977, you go right ahead and do that.
fact is, you have a losing record to us since then.
if you take solace in beating us back when our players wore vertically striped socks, then i'd say you have some issues.

Not to speak for RR but what I take solace in is the fact that if you swept us for the next ten straight years, you'd only break even in the all-time series.
For the record, my vote for best rivalry would go to Raiders/Chiefs.

Not much of a rivalry between the Broncos and Chefs when its SB's-6 appearances-2 wins-in a row-recently, SB record broncos-70's 80's 90's. Chefs-once in the 60's.

Uga is the best mascot in sports.
What year did Uga attack that Auburn player? It looks recent.
I believe it was 3 years ago that Uga went after the dude's nuts.
I'm not a big fan of Georgia by any means, but Uga is pretty cool.
