    Then it's not the same as OSU/UM.

    The OP asked for our opinion, right? If so, then we're all correct ;)

    Except India and Pakistan actually dislike each other. Not the case with Ohio and Michigan outside of people who probably can't read very adequately.

    1. OSU vs UM

    2a. Barcelona vs Real Madrid
    2b. Celtic vs Ranger


    As for hockey it's either Penguins/Flyers or Bruins/Canadiens

    Like it or not, in a world - wide opinion poll ESPN would far & wide be considered the world's foremost authority on sports. So their Top Ten List of Sports Rivalrys would be the majority opinion and thus the correct answer. Anyone disagreeing with this is Wrong and the argument should be over.

    LOL @ thinking the opinions on a ESPN poll are worldwide.

    I suspect sarcasm on his part, but the problem with using sarcasm here is that there's someone who actually believes the dumbest opinions one could post.

    Also LOL at thinking the majority of the world has internet to participate in a user poll.

    Bigger lol at thinking the "world" votes are everyone who goes to ESPN. Most go to the ESPN dedicated to their country. The World votes on that are mostly Americans abroad.

    Also, when ESPN shows it's map, and displays the number of "international" votes; there are about 80 votes at most in those polls.

    Not to mention, in the user polls ESPN has, its only from the actual ESPN.com. The others arent structured the same way, nor do they have the same polls on them. So that just hurts your theory.

    Pretty sure that those ESPN outlets listed would not have OSU/UM listed as their top rivalries.

    The poll said #1 OSU vs scUM and that's not theory doucher thats empirical fact. Once again I repeat You're Wrong. Just accept it and move on.

    Since when does majority opinion equal correct? At one time, the majority opinion was that the Earth was flat.
