Most people call this Thanksgiving week, but you know better. This is RIVALRY WEEK, the week where rivals play each other, except when they do that earlier in the season, or if they have multiple rivals, or if they just refuse to play each other any more.

In the spirit of RIVALRY WEEK, we discuss:

2:03 - How most RIVALRY WEEK teams and fans are actually basically the same

4:13 - Spencer’s favorite RIVALRY WEEK game every year

7:37 - Major Applewhite makes a good case for sitting out if you can get rich in the Draft

10:44 - If UCF beats USF in RIVALRY WEEK, what else do they need to reach the Playoff?

14:16 - Oklahoma-West Virginia is not technically RIVALRY WEEK but we did invent Turduckoon

17:55 - BUT HELL YEAH APPLE CUP IS RIVALRY WEEK

20:45 - Michigan-Ohio State EXPENSIVE ANXIETY RIVALRY WEEK

29:11 - CLEAN OLD-FASHIONED RIVALRY WEEK

30:46 - Ryan vs. His Persistent Doubt In Florida For No Reason is its own RIVALRY WEEK

33:44 - BUTT BOWL BUTT BOWL BUTT BOWL

36:40 - iron bowl i guess

40:28 - CROSS PODCAST CHICKEN RIVALRY WEEK IN ARIZONA
