I don't see how any rivalry could be greater than OU-TX, but I suppose we all have our own regional biases.

Yeah, it's definitely a regional bias thing. BU-BC hockey is pretty intense, as is Duke-UNC basketball. I'm a big UConn mens basketball fan, but there's not really a particular rivalry there; fans of the basketball have pretty much equal hatred for Syracuse, Duke, Georgetown and any number of Big East schools...

Well, I grew up in NC and now have a huge stake in the OU-TX rivalry, but I have to say that in my experience, the UNC-Duke basketball rivalry is way more intense than the OU-TX football rivalry.

It even carries over to HS sports, which is interesting. The college rivalries influence what matters in high school sports. Basketball, for the most part, is THE high school sport in NC. And in Texas it's football...
