What is the greatest single game of any rivalry all time considering all of the stakes?
I have four in my opinion (one of which is a homer take but whatever):
1969 Texas- Arkansas: a game of the century where the winner was declared national championship by the president himself. Texas eventually won by one point off a comeback
2006 Michigan- Ohio State. A 1-2 match up decided by three points. Winner played in the national title game.
2007 Backyard Brawl. 13-9 enough said. Kept West Virginia out of the national championship game.
2017 UGA-Auburn. A rematch and a revenge game for an SEC title game with the winner going to the playoffs and the loser going home
