Which of the matchups in the poll do you think are essential* rivalries?
* "Essential" rivalries are those in which both teams would likely seek to retain the matchup each year even in the event of a realignment that separated them into different divisions or conferences. In some cases, this has already happened, or they were never in the same conference/division to begin with.
Other current annual matchups aren't particularly essential. They may primarily be the result of sharing a conference/division and not any strong desire to play. These matchups would be sacrificed as annual games in the event of a realignment that separated the teams.
The line between essential and non-essential is rather blurry, so I thought I'd see what the realignment forum thinks. This is a miscellaneous poll containing some recently interrupted but active matchups, some younger matchups, and some matchups that I'm no longer sure are essential or not.
