Rivalry Games

As the last two weeks of college football go by, I thought I'd bring to the fore some rivalry games that I think...well that I think are cool. The really historic ones, the ones with cool names, the ones that are exciting every by-god year...

Plus, if you have ones that I don't mention, please post them here along with their nicknames. I always like hearing about rivalries I didn't know about before. And regardless, reply with your favorite rivalry. Maybe one Georgia rivalry, one non-UGA, just to keep it spiced.

I'll start with the obvious Georgia rivalries and move on to others afterwards; also, I'll attempt to post this year's winner.
