Best rivalry in the B12
Football:

I think as far as pure hate and regional purposes, I have to say Texas and Texas A&M. I think for history and great teams, it is Texas and Oklahoma, as well as Oklahoma and Nebraska. I still give the edge to UT- TAMU.

Basketball:

From what I have seen, there seems to be alot of bad blood between the KSU and KU fans. I also think Kansas is the best basketball state in the B12 and has the most history. So Ill give them the edge over OU-OSU.

The Big XII's Best Rivalry in any sport will always be the Red River War between us and the Okies. Though Mizzou and Kansas have a nasty "Border War" rivalry as well, it really doesn't come close to UT-OU. There's nothing but pure and utter disdain in this rivalry. If you don't believe me, go to the Pep Rally held in downtown Dallas the night before the game. Yes, we have a long standing rivalry with A&M as well but it's not like the Red River War by any stretch of the means. Most of the bad blood and hatred in the rivalry stem from the Aggies, not the Longhorns.

RE: Best rivalry in the B12
"Linebacker" seems to have it covered on all fronts...Unfortunately , I live in SEC country, so I'm not very fortunate to get to see Baylor's Womens basketball team, & I can't attest to the various rivalries in much other than football and men's basketball, in a conference like the Big 12, there have to be more, but I'm not privy to them, so my offering will deal with the following observation:

Football: Texas - Oklahoma
Men's basketball : Kansas -Texas

I'm sure there are several other schools that can stake a solid claim to be in a rivalry mix, Missouri for sure in basketball, y'all acquired a good man in Mike Anderson to run that team, we had an exciting brand of basketball to watch when he coached UAB, "The Fastest 40 Minutes In Basketball" was our moniker, and will soon be Mizzou's, if not already...I'm always curious about other parts of the country and how passionate they are about certain teams/schools, we definitely don't have the market on enthusiasm cornered in my hometown, & the Big 12 always makes some noise from one season to the next...Good luck to whoever has your allegiance...

You will get different answers depending on who a person is a fan of. OU Texas has to be right up there with Texas Texas A&M, in football anyway.
