retrofade Posted August 27, 2024 Posted August 27, 2024 I came across knowrivalry.com earlier today. It's a fan-voted site about sports rivalries, including FBS sports. According to fans, here are who we view as our biggest rivals. The number in parenthesis is the aggregate "rivalry score" that fans have assigned to each team. MWC Air Force Navy (39.1) Army (31.5) Colorado State (16.3) Boise State Fresno State (28.6) Nevada (20.1) BYU (18.9) Colorado State Colorado (44.4) Wyoming (35.6) Air Force (14.7) Fresno State Boise State (33.5) San Diego State (23.1) San Jose State (16.6) Hawai'i Fresno State (37.6) BYU (32.9) UNLV (7.4) Nevada UNLV (62.5) Boise State (27.1) Fresno State (7.5) New Mexico New Mexico State (46.2) UTEP (12.4) San Diego State (11.3) San Diego State Fresno State (38.9) BYU (23.7) Boise State (17.8) San Jose State Fresno State (50.2) Stanford (15.1) San Diego State (10.9) UNLV Nevada (71.2) San Diego State (10.4) Hawai'i (7.4) Utah State BYU (39.4) Boise State (21.6) Utah (14) Wyoming Colorado State (63.8) BYU (13.9) Air Force (11.8) Big-12 Arizona Arizona State (92.3) Arizona State Arizona (89) BYU Utah (80.1) Utah State (9.8) Boise State (6.8) Colorado Nebraska (49.2) Colorado State (21.6) Utah (11.2) Houston Rice (26.9) SMU (20) Texas (12.9) Utah BYU (64.4) USC (10.2) Colorado (7.1) B1G UCLA USC (80.4) Cal (9.2) USC Notre Dame (47.3) UCLA (38) Stanford (8) Oregon Washington (54.6) Oregon State (28.5) Stanford (6.5) Washington Oregon (57.8) Washington State (29.5) ACC Cal Stanford (64) USC (16.7) UCLA (14.4) Stanford Cal (48) USC (26.5) Notre Dame (11.8) Pac-2 Oregon State Oregon (85.7) Washington State Washington (78.4) Idaho (2.6) Do you disagree with your listed rivalries?

BSUTOP25 Posted August 27, 2024 Posted August 27, 2024 I’d say that’s pretty accurate for Boise State. But Minnesota not making the top of CSU’s rivalry list is an effing joke. 3 6 Quote
Bison Posted August 27, 2024 Posted August 27, 2024 I'd say Nebraska, CSU, and Utah in that order. CSU being #1 isn't much of a surprise because so many CU fans were pissed at CSU for that cheap hit on Travis Hunter. 1 1 Quote
renoskier Posted August 27, 2024 Posted August 27, 2024 looks good except I'm surprised CSU has Colorado as 1 and Wyoming 2 1 Quote

utenation Posted August 27, 2024 Posted August 27, 2024 CU isn’t our rival. I’d put USU in there before CU. We have a lot of history with USU. And they’re pissed at us for a few reasons. Quote

Utah State came in 4th for you guys at 4.6. Quote
smltwnrckr Posted August 27, 2024 Posted August 27, 2024 I think Hawaii/SJSU is a rivalry, and I think a lot of old timers agree. A lot of history with that game, and for some reason whenever they play each other, something weird and/or wild seems to happen. Also, a lot of shared history in terms of coaching staff going back a long time. Quote

They see the circus going on in Boulder and see it as their best chance at a win, so naturally it's become their most important game. Same reason that Minnesota has fallen off their podium as @BSUTOP25 alluded to. All it will take is for them to win the next matchup and you'll see all 500,000 student season ticket holders to celebrate like the good ol days. 2 1 Quote

A Flagship seeing a State-State, a Directional State, and a City-State as their biggest rivals? 1 Quote
Mano Posted August 27, 2024 Posted August 27, 2024 Kind of surprised the Vandals aren't on the Boise list. Quote
8-Bit UNLV Fan Posted August 27, 2024 Posted August 27, 2024 Only UNR and Hawaii view UNLV as their rivalries. Speaks volumes about the ineptitude of UNLV. Sad. Quote

ridgeview2 Posted August 27, 2024 Posted August 27, 2024 I would say that Boise being Fresno's rival is fairly new only within the last 12 years. Ever since Coach Peterson was on the sidelines it was no rivalry, just pure domination. I've always viewed San Jose, Hawaii, and San Diego State as our main rivals. 1 Quote

Boise State Fresno has often determined the Championship and they ruined our dream season but so much history with Hawaii. the other school I hate but we never play is Cal. Hard to say it’s a rivalry but it’s maybe just pure hatred. Cal represents everything Fresno is not and uses political strength to do their best to tilt the playing field in athletics and academics. Not a surprise UCLA and Stanford are coming to Fresno but Cal who is the closest school will not. The valley was once a Cal stronghold but Fresno has pushed them out from Stockton south. Anytime Cal loses is a good day. 1 Quote

That rivalry is a smoldering bed of hate on their side. Our side moved on ten years ago after we beat them 11 straight times and they got relegated to FCS. The rivalries from my fan perspective is Fresno , and Nevada. 1 Quote

Take the quiz for your team. https://knowrivalry.com/league/fbs-football/ WSU and OSU are certainly rivals despite being kindred, especially these days. As neighboring states Ag schools and little brother schools within their own states, WSU and OSU very often battled over past decades to stay out of the PCC, PAC 8/10/12 basement. Quote
