3. Army vs. Navy

Navy leads series, 60-49-7

If you’re looking for a rivalry game that is intensely competitive and about as traditionalist as it gets in college football, you’ve found it. The Army-Navy game is not only one of the best rivalries in college football, but it is one of those games that helped shape the history of the sport. While the game doesn’t mean much anymore in terms of national championships and Heisman contenders, the game is still a tradition of sorts for the sport and is one of the more impressive displays of patriotism in the nation.

Navy is currently riding a 14-game win streak against Army. The Midshipman won a close matchup in 2015 by a score of 21-17. The two teams will face off once again this season for the 117th time on December 10th. There is nothing better than watching a game between two teams whose players have dedicated this time in their lives to their country and the defense of it, if that doesn’t get you fired up, I don’t know what will.
