We go so well together. Lol.

All kidding aside (well more like dark, true humor unfortunately) I'd go with:

Iowa
Penn State
USC

Just to pick three for arguments sake. Iowa for regional rivalry. Penn State for history, playing a fellow blue blood and east coast exposure. (And yes I live with PSU fans so that's a consideration, lol) USC for playing a fellow blue blood and west coast exposure. I'm just picking for fun I know it's not too realistic outside of Iowa.

1) whoever we are playing that week.
2) whoever we are playing the next week.
3) whoever we play the week after that.

This is the only right answer ^

But, assuming we have to go in conference, I'd go...

PSU
USC

If we're going to have fake manufactured rivals, we might as well make them relevant teams with some recruiting upside. If we wanna walk with the big dogs, we need to be willing to piss in the tall grass. And if Trev had any balls, that's who he'd have submitted.

Now that we’re in the B1G because I have family in one state and a few friends that pull for another team that think their color is gold but looks more like piss yellow.

Minnesota

I'd say Kong, but that's hardly worthy of rivalry (kinda like Iowa) 😉

All kidding aside, no rivals on here. No time to let a free message board get to that level lol

I will never consider a team like Iowa that shoots and settles for mediocrity a rival.

To be a rival of Nebraska you must of at least been playing for National Titles at some point.
