With Nick Saban returning for his second season as coach, Alabama could be the front-runners now that LSU is having issues with their quarterback, who is gone for smoking pot. 

Even with all the votes for this one, only one rivalry brought out the masses...

 

#1) Michigan Wolverines-Ohio State Buckeyes

The Wolverines and Buckeyes battle it out every year at the end of the season, and every year, the teams' fanbase goes nuts. I mean, have you ever seen a rivalry that makes the fans lose sleep and blood flow this frequently? Can it get any more interesting than that?

Of course it can, and it will. Ever since the Wolverines got supposedly "snuffed," for the BCS Championship Game, the rivalry has been taking more twists than Kim Kardashian's home movie. With Michigan and Ohio State always leaving the Big Ten faithful breathless, it's no surprise that the SEC and Big Ten always trash talk each other after that second week of January.

And with the acquisition of a Michigan tackle to the Buckeyes lineup, this thing can only get bigger and better.  

In any event, whether it's fans screaming "GO BLUE!" or "GOD LOVES THE BUCKEYES!" the biggest Big-Ten showdown, and one of the biggest rivalries in the country, is worthy of the No. 1 ranking.
