WP:NRIVALRY says "Sports rivalries are not inherently notable" and defers to
WP:GNG. GNG states "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." Rivalry is not establish via current citations which simply reflect game results.

Delete as per nom; none of the references claim the rivalry is notable, or are anything other than news coverage of a single game.

Delete. My searches do not find multiple sources dealing with this 52-game football series as a true rivalry. Absent a true rivalry, a series between two programs warrants a stand-alone article in unusual circumstances where there have been multiple historic games, such as games impacting the national title, matches where both games were highly ranked, or games receiving ongoing coverage as being historically important. None of those criteria are satisfied in this case. If others come up with further significant coverage, I'm willing to reconsider.

Delete - like the other editors, I could find no significant coverage in the search engines to show that this match-up is given much credence as an established rivalry.
