    Wow, those are 3 great in state schools now that I think about it. That is a lot of winning amongst the 3 of them.
    Florida and Miami rarely play each other. I think they had a home and home a few years back and they used to play each other more regularly decades ago. Florida and FSU is the biggest rivalry for both teams and it's been the last regular season game for both as long as I remember.
    Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

      Has Miami won more NC's than the other two? UF has won three or four in the last 20 years and FSU has won at least one and probably more. I can only think of two or three for Miami.
      I think Miami has five titles. Four from the 80s and early 90/ and one from 01. They also had one stolen from them back in 02. FSU has two 93 and 99 and Florida has three recent ones, 96, 06 and 08.

        Hmmm, I don't know, I'm not that convinced. Those are teams with multiple rivalries (isn't Notre Dame a rival of just about everyone they play?), and Florida, Florida State, and Georgia play their "real" out-of-conference rivals at the end of the season.

        Who is Utah's "real" rival?
        Georgia/Georgia Tech is not bigger than Georgia/Florida.

        I'd throw Alabama/LSU, Alabama/Tennessee, and Florida/LSU into the conversation as well.

        I think this is a pointless discussion (even among pointless discussions). I don't get the feeling Chris Hill is adamant to continue the series with BYU, and he's certainly not going to fight tooth and nail to keep it at the end of the year. In addition, it looks like USC/Notre Dame is the only OOC rivalry game that will get the post-September concession. Utah fan reaction (at least online) is solidly in favor of discontinuing the series against BYU, or at least playing them home-and-home. Whether it's because they feel like BYU benefits more from the arrangement; or a new rivalry with Colorado cannot be created while still playing BYU; or Utah's sights should be set higher; I don't know.

        IYAM, the rivalry will be a big game regardless of when it's played. Considering that we no longer share a conference, the game won't mean any more or any less whether it's in September or November. As a Ute fan, I prefer having all OOC games in September, and if it was up to me, playing BYU home-and-home annually would be a part of that schedule. Even the Friday of conference weekend would be cool.

          So what are the best inside sources on the amount on the ESPN deal? Closer to 600k 1 mil or 1.5 mil a game?

              You should be used to such moronic, 5-watt droolings from BYU fans by now. Even after 2003, 2004 and 2008, there's a segment that just doesn't know when to shut the fuck up.

Fine, maybe a Utah loss would keep BYU out of the BCS title game, but knowing your sentiments about BYU, the idea of BYU ever playing in a national championship game again is something you'd bet everything you own against ever happening again.
                        You never have played in a national championship game, so what's your point?

                            You need to settle down. Just because I think your destiny is to be ASU, doesn't make me a troll. ASU fans are perfectly happy with their situation. They're also happy to be a commuter school with open admissions. They know what they are and they're accepting of it. You'll learn your place too. And being ASU is better than being in the MWC and it's better than being Wazzu.
