1. USC vs. UCLA. 12/6. It has always been a good rivalry. Mark Sanchez vs. Patrick Cowan/Ben Olsen & Pete Carroll vs. Rick Neuhisal.

2. Florida vs. Georgia. 11/1. The best QB in Tim Tebow and the best runningback in Knoshawn Moreno, should be an amazing game.

3. Navy vs. Notre Dame. 11/15. We all saw last season. Also without Paul Johnson, it should be a pretty even matchup. Maybe Jimmy Clausen will show up this season and give us a thriller since I am attending this game in Baltimore.

4. UVA vs. Maryland. 10/4. It was thriller last season (my mind aches of what happened), both hates each other. Maryland has the advantage with a Chris Long and Branden Albert-less UVA. They still have a very talented and fast backfield. But two really evenly matched teams. We have seen some thrillers in this one in the past (2006- 28 point comeback in fourth by MD, 2007- the drive for UVA).

5. West Virginia vs. Pitt. 11/28. It was a thriller last season with the upset. Pitt is looking really good this coming season with the tailbakc LeSean McCoy. And WVU always poses as a great team and they have speedy QB Pat White.

Miami- Florida State
Michigan- Ohio State
Oklahoma- Texas
Missouri- Oklahoma
Missouri- Kansas

3rd Saturday in October. Rivalry with the most history. Tennessee vs Alabama.

July 4, 2008  01:21 AM ET

UGA-UF
WISC - OSU
TX -OK
LSU - Auburn
USC - ASU
Everyone knows the South's oldest rivalry is Georgia - Auburn with 114 games played. UT Bama have only played 90.

Kansas MO should be a great rivalry also this year. I think the hype leading up will be better than the game though. The border war/showdown is the 2nd oldest Div 1A rivalry.

I forgot about KS Mo, but I was saying that these games will be the most entertaining.

July 4, 2008  01:22 PM ET

GT-UGA?

Here's a little bit of info concerning the Rivalries in the South: I can't take credit for it, I got it at SEC12.com

Football has a rich tradition in the SEC, and its many rivalries among its members have long histories. Some of the rivalries involving SEC teams include:

Rivalry Name Trophy
Alabama-Auburn The Iron Bowl ODK-James E. Foy V Sportsmanship Trophy
Alabama-Tennessee The Third Saturday In October
Alabama-LSU The Saban Bowl
Arkansas-LSU The Battle for the Golden Boot The Golden Boot

Florida-Georgia The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party
Florida-Tennessee The Third Saturday in September

Kentucky-Louisville Battle for the Governor's Cup The Governor's Cup
LSU-Tulane The Battle for the Rag The Tiger Rag
LSU-Ole Miss A Southern Tradition
Mississippi State-Ole Miss The Egg Bowl The Golden Egg Trophy
South Carolina-Clemson Backyard Brawl
Tennessee-Kentucky The Border Bowl The Beer Barrel

Each school has a permanent rival from the other division which it plays each year in football (though this may or may not reflect a traditional rivalry). Each East Division school's permanent rival from the West Division:
