Now, I know I will take a lot of criticism for this page, but I dont care, rivalries are what make sports special and I am going to recognize those that are above and beyond the rest in the state of alabama. I picked these bsed on polls, crowds, ratios of people in that town and at the game and from talking to various sportswriters about their opinions and I came to these conclusions, I know that you wont agree with all of them that is to be expected, but this is the largest majority of people opinion of the top 75 rivalries in Alabama: |
