For the love of Steve Spurrier ... er, I mean, God: Please, somebody, make these games annual affairs!

BYU vs. Notre Dame
This is for all of those crazies who think THEIR God really cares about what team wins a football game. Those people really exist. Honest. You may be one of them. If so, get a freaking clue.

Clemson vs. Georgia
Great history. Close proximity. Lots of hate. What's not to love?

Texas vs. Arkansas
The rivalry time slowly is forgetting. "Wooooo, Pig!!! Sooooie!" "Hook 'em Horns!" Remember that? (the teams recently announced they play again in 2008 and 2009).

Notre Dame vs. Penn State
This is like Ali-Frazier. It never gets old watching two classic heavyweights throw haymakers. At least it'll happen this year.

Arkansas vs. Oklahoma or Oklahoma State
It's a short drive between these schools. And, you know what they say: familiarity breeds contempt.

Pitt vs. Penn State
I think you all know how I feel about this. It's time to put egos aside (that's you, Penn State) and just play the damn game . . . on a home-and-home basis.

Nebraska vs. Oklahoma
The Big 12 is a sign of progress? Not in my book when an annual rivalry like this gets trashed because a league wants to split into divisions and have what typically is a yawner of a Big 12 title game.

West Virginia vs. Marshall
This is the living embodiment of the Hatfields vs. the McCoys.

Missouri vs. Illinois
The meetings are becoming more frequent. Why not just make it annual like the basketball game in St. Louis? If not, why doesn't Missouri start up an annual series with Iowa or Arkansas? Makes too much sense. This IS Missouri.

Southern Miss vs. Ole Miss or Mississippi State
A classic case of two SEC schools that want NO part of getting their pants pulled down by an in-state little brother who's more than capable of doing it. You know it. I know it. Ole Miss and Mississippi State know it.

West Virginia vs. Ohio State
These states have more in common than you think. And is there a better time in history to start an annual series than now?

Florida State vs. Auburn
This almost happened a few years ago when Terry Bowden was on the Plains. The schools are classic powers that aren't that far apart. LSU vs. Florida State would be a great I-10 matchup.

South Florida vs. Miami/Florida/Florida State
OK, which of the Sunshine State's holy trinity is less chicken? That's what I thought.

Indiana vs. Kentucky
This was wrongly taken from us. And bring back the damn Bourbon Barrel! I'm sick of this political correctness crap.

Miami vs. Florida
We've gotten a few peeks over the years of what this game is like. Sorta like being given a piece of Joe's Stone crab and having the rest taken from you.

Fresno State vs. Stanford
It's a story about schools from the opposite sides of the track. Those always are great, just like that movie ... "The Outsiders." I think you know which school is the "Socs" and which is the "Greasers."
