Unsurprisingly, Ohio State vs. Michigan came in at No. 1.

The Athletic said it was an “easy” choice.

Michigan-Ohio State was an easy No. 1. It meets every principle and tops the charts in meaningful games historically. Oklahoma-Texas and Auburn-Alabama were nearly even, but the iconic Iron Bowls over the past 15 years nudged into No. 2. In another decade, it might flip now that all four are in the SEC. Ranking Army-Navy is about ambiance and tradition rather than the games, but no rivalry is more revered or embedded in the fabric of the sport.
