Unsourced article about a supposed rivalry between two football teams. I've searched for sources but the only one I can find reliable sources about is a rivalry between Baylor and TCU (and even then the clubs deny it) [1] Black Kite (talk) 18:05, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Non notable rivalry, the 2 teams involved are hardly famous outside of their location for starters. Seasider91 (talk) 19:15, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
These two programs are in power five leagues and have played in BCS and other major bowl games the past five years, so yes they are big programs however, that doesn't mean this is a rivalry.UCO2009bluejay (talk) 20:21, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Despite playing in the same conference there are no citations demonstrating a rivalry, and from living in the area OSU fans typically don't consider the game a rivalry.UCO2009bluejay (talk) 20:21, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete two teams in the same conference do not constitute a notable rivalry.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:45, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. A set of regularly-scheduled meetings does not automatically constitute a rivarly, and without any indication that this is considered one by third-party sources, this is non-notable. --Kinu t/c 14:53, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
