Not possible. First there is only two Dakota States. Also South Dakota is the school that had football in the 1880's UND and NDSU started football in 1894. South Dakota State U, started football in 1900.

I am talking about all four state schools of the two Dakota states. If you add some of the other Dakota schools to the list until those 4 moved up.

You're still factually wrong.

Colorado St vs Wyoming has met 107 times. (Called the Border War).
Nevada vs UNLV - 41 times (Fremont Cannon)
San Jose St vs Fresno St - 79 times (Valley Cup)
San Diego St vs Fresno St - 55 times (Battle of Oil Can)

PAC: Well all of them are in the 100's except for USC - UCLA (83) and ASU- UA (89).
Some trivia for you: the Territorial Cup (ASU-UA) is the oldest rivalry trophy in college football.

Very cool, I was not aware that the MWC had "trophy" games, was only aware of the Big 10 teams, some of the SEC games and B12 that were trophy games, very interesting

We have the historic "Civil ConFLiCT" with UCF that dates back to 2013. Not only is it steeped in history and tradition, but some consider it the greatest rivalry in all of sport.

Brother against brother, 365 days. Clash of cultures. Not as nasty as houston -tulsa, known simply as "teh rivarlry", but still a big one

Someday, Ohio State-Michigan will be almost as good. I guarantee it.

Actually I love this rivalry. The best rivalry stories are ones that honestly sound random/stupid the first time you hear them. People fighting for a giant axe or a live turtle.

One coach deciding it was a rivalry and creating a trophy sounds that way at first, but it's a hell of a lot better story than "our conference/teams decided there should be a trophy and after going through a bunch of focus groups we ended up with this one."

And the other team refusing to acknowledge it just gives the rivalry that much more sting.

On a serious note, this must really stink for the UConn fan base. It's not like UConn is some irrelevant school. They have real, meaningful rivals in revenue sports, so the fans know what a real rivalry is (i.e. UConn vs. SU is one of the best men's basketball rivalries in the game), and presumably what's incredibly forced.

Kent State has the Wagon Wheel with Akron but actually has more games against Bowling Green State which technically has a trophy but it is more recent and the series in football is not competitive. Kent and BGSU were both started by the same bill so they have a lot of history with each other.

RE: How Much History Does Your Conference Have?
Unfortunately UC's football history is not with other schools.

We have a significant amount of football history - we went to arguably the first bowl game ever (in New Orleans in 1898), built a gem of a stadium in the 20s that is still great today, won a couple of bowl games in the 40s, and had a Hall of Fame coach (Sid Gillman) in the 50s. But we've always been a basketball-first school and our basketball rivalries with Xavier, Louisville, Miami, and Dayton were so strong that we always played them in football too (I think we played all 4 every year in the 50s and 60s).

When XU and Dayton dropped big-boy football in the early 70s we were left with only two rivals, one of which (Miami) we've never wanted to be a conference mate. This was fine when we were just another independent and basketball and football were equal. But this hurt us heavily when the 90s reallignment came around.
