May be dated...no Houston or UCF for Memphis

https://knowrivalry.com/team/memphis/

From Memphis perspective

University of Tennessee 31.83
University of Mississippi 24.92
University of Louisville 23.92
Southern Mississippi 7.58
University of Cincinnati 4.33
UA Birmingham 3.33

Today would think Southern and UAB are out and really all of UTK, Miss and Louise are less

Add in UCF, Houston, Navy and possibly SMU, Tulane and maybe Temple or Wichita State
Its dumb.

Number 1 rivalry in college football.....
Arizona/Arizona State
#3 Toledo/Bowling Green
#7 Kansas/Missouri

Alabama/Auburn... no where to be found

They asked fans who their top rivals were and cross referenced those teams against each other. Any team with more than one rival drops. Memphis can't stay in a league, we have no true rivals right now.

What they should have down is looked at attendance and viewership. Many great rivalries have been ruined with conference reshuffling. Memphis, except for Ole Miss a million years ago, really has never had true football rivalries.
#1 rivalry - Referees
#2 AAC Conference administration
Less interested in which is the largest national rival than the rivals as names by each fan base

Wasn’t meant to save the world

Errbody
Do any other teams have Memphis listed as a rival?

I really dont think we have a rival. The people we might call a rival don't consider us to be a rival and I think teams that would call us a rival, we don't consider to be a rival.
My list would be

TenneSuck
Ole Piss
UCF
Cincy
Navy

And their chirruns too?
I would be more curious to know what athletic program/fan base Tiger fans detest the most (rival or not). My gut feeling would be, and hands down, UTK.
Why would anyone consider Tennessee a rival for us over Ole Miss?

Stupid.

Nope! It is most definitely UTK. True, Ole Miss is arrogant. But UTK is arrogant, inbred, and oppressive toward Memphis.
Sure.

But that's not how rivalry works.

If rivalry is counted as "What team/program do you hate the most?", then UTK is it, hands down.

If you put a qualifier on it like "you have to play said team regularly", then it would have to be UCF.

If you FURTHER put a qualifier on it like "they have to hate you back", then we don't have one at all.

But that is an inaccurate way to poll people about their rivalry, because they won't admit it. That's why Alabama/Auburn isn't at the top of the list - AZstate/AZ is. Alabama fans won't give Auburn fans the satisfaction of naming Auburn as their biggest rival. Similarly, we don't give Arkansas State the satisfaction, even though Arkansas State was the team that listed us as their rival. We are not their highest, but we received more votes from them than any other team.
We don't really have a true rival, for a variety of reasons.

This is probably true.
