Which college football rivalries have been played the most?
The interactive chart needs JavaScript. The numbers are on the chart's page.
The Minnesota–Wisconsin rivalry has been played 133 times, through the season that ended in January 2026, the most of any two teams now in the FBS in CollegeFootballData.com's records; Army–Navy follows at 125. Bowl games count. The source's early records miss some games, so its counts can run a few below the schools' own: it has Kentucky–Tennessee from 1906, though they first played in 1893.
