College rivalry imbalance?

Which college football rivalries come to your mind when thinking about most lopsided ones, i.e., one team consistently dominating the other? Any interesting stories behind these rivalries?

While there are many college football rivalries out there, a few that come to mind when thinking of lopsided ones include:

1. Oklahoma vs. Iowa State: The Oklahoma Sooners and the Iowa State Cyclones have competed numerous times, but the balance of victories is highly tilted towards Oklahoma. As of 2023, Oklahoma has won the majority of the matchups since their first meeting in 1928.

2. Florida vs. Kentucky: The Gators hold a considerable lead over the Wildcats. At one point, Florida won 31 straight games against Kentucky from 1987 to 2017.

3. Notre Dame vs. Navy: This is one of the longest uninterrupted series in the college football, which has seen a historical domination by Notre Dame. While Navy has had a few wins recently, Notre Dame still holds a considerable edge in the all time series.

In terms of interesting stories, the Notre Dame vs. Navy rivalry has a unique history. During World War II, Notre Dame was on the verge of financial collapse due to many students joining the military and leaving school. To keep it running, the Navy used the university as a training center, paying rent that helped keep Notre Dame afloat. After the War ended, in gratitude, Notre Dame agreed to play Navy in football every year.

Remember, while some of the rivalries may seem lopsided on paper, that never diminishes the fierce competition and spirit that these games bring out in the teams and fans. One can never fully predict the outcome of any given game, which is part of what makes college football so exciting.
