      I was trying to think of the best interstate rivalries (sorry OU/TX, OSU/UM) from a competitive atheltic program perspective nationwide. And not including the obscure sports, but the main ones — football, basketball (M/W), baseball/softball.

      I thought of in no particular order:
      Clemson/South Carolina
      Kentucky/Louisville
      Iowa/Iowa State
      Alabama/Auburn
      Utah/BYU

      If you included gymnastics, skiing, and volleyball — Utah/BYU could be one of the best rivalries from a pure competitive standpoint across multiple sports in the nation.

        USC/UCLA is a great example because they both have great WBB/softball. The other examples aren’t consistently competitive in the main sports, IMO.

          USC doesn’t field a softball program.

      Those are intRA-state rivalries. Interstate would be between two different states.
