Which college football rivalries have been played the most?
Minnesota and Wisconsin have played 133 times since 1892, through the 2025 season, the most of any two teams now in the FBS in CollegeFootballData.com's records; Army–Navy and Indiana–Purdue follow 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.
