Our weeklong series on college football rivalries starts on Monday.
I ranked the Top 100 in CFB history after comparing around 150. Here’s a peek at the cumulative power-conference team numbers. There are also G5/FCS & lower-division rivalries.

Among the many offseason stats I keep include Big Ten draft numbers by position.
Here's a glance from the 2019-25 drafts featuring Big Ten DL/Edge (not OLB) by 247Sports composite star status & whether they were transfers. For transfers, star is based upon B1G arrival, not HS.
