One of my goals for my road trip is to stop at as many college football stadiums as I can.

It’s a short tour, but a fan-first decision that’s such a nice touch.

It’ll always be Notre Dame-USC for me but Michigan-Ohio State is an incredible rivalry to watch as a neutral spectator.
Let’s have a debate about college football's best rivalries.
But in the process, hopefully we can all agree that the only thing worse than losing to a rival is not playing them.
