On the football board it is.Are we still having a "should have stayed in the AAC" discussion? Is that a thing?
This is how I would classify them:
Out of conference rivalries: Duke, Kentucky, UCLA - classic in-season & Tourney games over the years that meant something at a national level.
In conference rivalries: Villanova, Georgetown, St. Johns, PC, Syracuse (not technically, but we had classics w/them over the years).
"New" rivalries: Creighton, Marquette, Xavier
