This as someone who grew up in a USC household. Sorry UCLA, you are clear number 2.

What is the biggest football program that doesn’t have a real rival?

CrimWalCoug All-American in practice

Notre Dame

USC is Notre Dame’s biggest rival, and Notre Dame is USC’s biggest rival

and Michigan. ND may not have a UCLA or tOSU, but they definitely have rivals.

Diablo and Doc

Minnesota is their main rival isn’t it?

DrBYU

5/26/22 10:53pm

You ask Wisconsin fans, and they’ll mention multiple teams including Minnesota, Michigan, and Indiana.

CrimWalCoug

5/26/22 10:54pm

Their yearly game with Minnesota has been going on longer than any other matchup in college football

Magathis

5/26/22 10:58pm

Indiana? There’s no way they say Indiana

CommodoreCoug

5/26/22 10:59pm

Iowa is high on that list too

moknowssports

5/27/22 10:28am

Iowa State.

BlooCoog

5/27/22 12:40pm

Everyone in the B1G hates Michigan. The Bucky fans I know consider Minnesota and

I went to a Wisconsin - Minnesota game at Camp Randall stadium once.

BlueMark

5/27/22 2:32pm

LSU?

Medute

5/26/22 10:54pm

Ole Miss hates them. Kind of like the relationship between BYU vs. USU.

Diablo and Doc

5/27/22 5:47am

Bama is their biggest rival.

ordinary tri guy

5/27/22 6:17am

But Bama would claim Auburn as rival #1

Medute

5/27/22 6:27am

For a true rival each team has to list the other team as their #1 rival.

CrimWalCoug

5/27/22 6:59am

This is a bad metric of 'rival'.

Hotlanta

5/27/22 7:06am

I guess the question might be #1 rival

Medute

5/27/22 7:49am

Except I think Georgia hates Georgia Tech more

Magathis

5/27/22 8:27am

No way, not even close. Tech is the #3 rival for UGA

Hotlanta

5/27/22 9:16am

Auburn is probably number one and not just in sports In Attracting students,

Nat Gas Man

5/27/22 11:52am

Once upon a time maybe... but now Tech isn't worth their hate

krindorr

5/27/22 12:52pm

No they don't. BSU would say BYU is their biggest. But it's not ours.

ordinary tri guy

5/27/22 8:54am

Fresno is Boise's biggest rival, BYU is Utah's

Hotlanta

5/27/22 9:16am

I don't know a single BSU fan that says Fresno is their Rival.

ordinary tri guy

5/27/22 9:43am

Interestingly, Wikipedia lists 3 rivals for Boise St...none of which is BYU

krindorr

5/27/22 5:23pm

When was the last time that was updated?

Magathis

5/27/22 5:26pm

March 4, 2022

krindorr

5/27/22 5:44pm

Weird

Magathis

5/27/22 5:54pm

Again, never spoken to a BSU fan that said (now) any of those 3 teams are rivals

Miami? It’s FSU.

LakeshowCougs

5/27/22 12:15am

FSU hates Florida more

-C9-

5/27/22 8:23am

I’m well aware. I went to Florida. But to say Miami doesn’t have a rival is not

LakeshowCougs

5/27/22 9:55am

Penn State prior to the Big 10

Captain Stubing

5/26/22 10:54pm

Pitt

Magathis

5/26/22 10:57pm

Pitt's biggest rival is WVU.

HiLife

5/27/22 9:54am

Another team they haven’t played in a decade

Magathis

5/27/22 10:07am

Penn State is the correct answer

Hotlanta

5/27/22 6:56am

Penn St before B1G might have considered Pitt their rival. It still remains

The Chelsea Dagger

5/27/22 6:01pm

Nebraska, away from Oklahoma now.

Samsonite

5/26/22 10:57pm

The B1G is trying to force a rivalry with Iowa though

Magathis

5/26/22 10:59pm

Good call

Captain Stubing

5/26/22 11:02pm

And no Colorado either

LakeshowCougs

5/27/22 12:16am

What qualifies as a real rival? Minnesota is definitely Wisconsin’s rival, even

Kavorka

5/26/22 10:57pm

LSU and Arkansas is a pretty big rivalry.

dfudge

5/27/22 12:18am

Nebraska for sure. And I guess Texas A&M right now

YIsForBrigham

5/26/22 11:01pm

Hawaii.

Have you seen the size of some of those lineman? Two words. Thicc Boi.

notaboy

5/27/22 5:08am

B1G - Penn St, Sec - LSU, ACC - Syracuse, Big 12 - Cincinnati, PAC - Colorado.

The biggest ones I can think of you could make an argument for are:

cougarfan84

5/26/22 11:16pm

If you ask a Tennessee fan they would probably say one of the following:

LakeshowCougs

5/27/22 12:19am

It’s sad to see Nebraska on that list, growing up Oklahoma vs Nebraska was

RC Vikings

5/27/22 2:39am

Right, usually w/ an Orange Bowl berth on the line. Bigger OU/OSU or OU/TX

Captain Stubing

5/27/22 6:41am

All of you people saying ND are crazy. ND has more rivals than any other program

Hotlanta

5/27/22 6:55am

Correct.

HiLife

5/27/22 9:53am

True rivals, or just teams that can't stand ND?

BlooCoog

5/27/22 12:39pm

USC, Michigan, Navy, Stanford, even Boston College to an extent

Hotlanta

5/27/22 12:43pm

Wisconsin fans see Michigan and Ohio State as their biggest rivals, I think

HoustonBYUCoug

5/27/22 12:28pm

Iowa and Minnesota are, by far, Wisconsin's biggest rivals, no question

Hotlanta

5/27/22 12:33pm

This is correct

royalwalrus

5/27/22 1:35pm

No. Definitely Minnesota and Iowa. Splitting my time between St Paul and Chicago

The Chelsea Dagger

5/27/22 5:54pm

Colorado. They used to have a great rivalry with Nebraska but that died. They

BlooCoog

5/27/22 12:39pm

Colorado State would like to think that they are CU's rival, but they aren't.

HiLife

5/27/22 1:04pm

EVERY Colorado and Nebraska fan I know still consider each other biggest rivals

moknowssports

5/27/22 2:57pm

They haven't played for years though; hard to call that a rivalry.

BlooCoog

5/27/22 3:43pm

this is dumb. We still have a rivalry with Utah, even if we won't play till 2025

Hotlanta

5/27/22 3:51pm

They have played twice in the last 5 years and play again this year…

moknowssports

5/27/22 6:15pm

Strongly disagree. It isn't a rivalry unless you play Every Year

Auburn.

Magathis

Definitely Minnesota. Then Iowa. It’s the Upper Midwest hate triangle.
