There are some fantastic rivalries in college football. Alabama-Auburn and Michigan-Ohio State obviously come to mind. But then there are games that one school sees as a big rivalry, and the other does not. Here is a look at five “big brother rivalries” as Rivals.com continues its Rivalry Week coverage.

RIVALS RIVALRY WEEK: Best rivalry in football | Emerging recruiting rivalries

The Panthers and Nittany Lions have met 97 times and Penn State leads the series 50-43-4 ,so it has been competitive over the years and with the in-state situation, there are some natural rivalry implications here.

Except Penn State doesn’t really see Pitt as its rival. The Nittany Lions are shooting for bigger fish but since joining the Big Ten there really isn’t a natural in-conference rival that makes a whole lot of sense. They have games against Ohio State, Michigan and Michigan State are all hotly contested and carry league implications.

Maryland and Rutgers have become more Big Ten rivals, but still those are probably a stretch. Pitt has won the last two meetings against the Nittany Lions, including a 42-39 decision this season. But the previous matchup was in 2000 when the current players were hardly even born.

This isn’t a rivalry game. The teams don’t like each other and there are in-state and recruiting implications, but Pitt isn't really on Penn State's radar anymore.

This is one of the best games every year to circle on the calendar because the Gators and Volunteers don’t like each other and it regularly has SEC East implications but it’s really not a rivalry.

Tennessee would probably put Florida atop its list for hated opponents, but Florida already has rivalry games with Florida State and Georgia. The Vols are down the list.

Also, Florida has so dominated this series recently so that discredits any kind of rivalry game since the Gators have 11 straight heading into this season when Tennessee finally beat them, 38-28.

The Florida-Tennessee game is must-watch TV because of the dislike between the two SEC East schools. But it’s really not a rivalry.

This one could be highly debated and might be a rivalry game but it probably falls along the same parameters as Florida-Tennessee: It’s a battle between two vaunted schools but really isn’t a rivalry like Alabama-Auburn matchup coming up this weekend.

There is a ton of overlap in recruiting as both Alabama and LSU go after the highest-echelon players in the Southeast and the Crimson Tide have been especially aggressive going into talent-rich Louisiana for top talent.

But Alabama has dominated this series recently, winning six straight and so that throws some cold water on the rivalry talk. As much as Alabama enjoys beating LSU, Auburn is still No. 1 on the Tide's priority list.

Sorry, Cowboys. Oklahoma’s rival is Texas. End of story.

But seriously, the Oklahoma-Oklahoma State game is a compelling in-state tussle, has its own nickname “Bedlam” and is also worth watching because it’s been an exciting matchup in recent seasons.

However, the Sooners have so dominated this series, embarrassingly so, that it’s really not a rivalry.

Here are the facts: Oklahoma has won 11 of the last 13 matchups against Oklahoma State, lead the series 85-18-7 and the Cowboys haven’t won this series twice in a row since 2002.

Come on. Bedlam? More like Boredom.

Here is another clear-cut example of one program (Michigan) with a legitimate rivalry game (Ohio State) trying to get pushed into a second rivalry just because of in-state implications.

Sorry, but the Michigan-Michigan State game is an interesting contest every year but it’s far from the Wolverines’ rivalry game against the Buckeyes. Those two teams, to put it bluntly, hate each other.

There are serious recruiting implications in that game, but really with Michigan playing so well and Jim Harbaugh having so much cachet, the Wolverines could really get almost all the elite players they want from the state.

Michigan leads the series 69-35-5 but Michigan State has won seven of the last nine meetings, so the Spartans have been pulling their weight recently. But know matter how many wins the Spartans pile up, Michigan is still going to focus more on 'Ohio' than Michigan State.

But there’s nothing like Ohio State-Michigan. OSU Urban Meyer said right after the Michigan State escape this past weekend it was “officially rivalry week.”

Yes, it is.
