Rivalry Week is finally here. And with it comes the most dramatic stretch of the college football calendar, where grudges are renewed, regional pride becomes currency, and dreams are either fulfilled or shattered by the opponents fans hate most. The stakes balloon beyond sanity as conference championship tickets hinge on bragging rights, playoff paths collide with bitterness, and every snap feels like it might echo into eternity, because this is the sport’s theater at its most unhinged. While Thanksgiving leftovers cool in the fridge, Ole Miss and Mississippi State set the stage Friday night before Georgia and Georgia Tech test the boundaries of state loyalty, and even Texas A&M and Texas attempt to coexist long enough to determine who gets to claim superiority for another year in the Lone Star State. Saturday only escalates the absurdity as familiar feuds, from Ohio State and Michigan’s annual feistiness and physicality to Alabama and Auburn’s unpredictable chaos in Jordan-Hare, threaten to rewrite the postseason landscape in spectacular fashion. With new chapters about to be inked in the sport’s nastiest rivalries, let’s look at the matchups that will decide who gets salvation and who gets scarred heading into December:
