1. Miami vs. Virginia Tech

2. California vs. USC

3. Colorado vs. Nebraska

4. Oklahoma vs. Texas A&M
These two had to have played at least 100 times, right? Wrong. These two hardly ever faced each other when OU was in the Big 8 and A&M was in the Southwest Conference. Before the Big 12 was formed, the two played in 1993 and 1994. Before those two games, the two hadn’t played since 1951 when A&M won 13-7.
The dominance of OU under Bob Stoops has made this a little bit of a one-sided rivalry over the past few years, but A&M has had its moments highlighted by a brilliant performance by freshman QB Reggie McNeal in a 30-26 win over the top-ranked Sooners in 2002. A&M won the first three matchups between the two in Big 12 play.
Signature game that made this a rivalry: Nov. 11, 2000, Oklahoma 35 … Texas A&M 31

5. Michigan State vs. Penn State

6. Iowa vs. Iowa State

7. Boise State vs. Fresno State

8. Clemson vs. Florida State

9. Northwestern vs. Wisconsin
