Good article by the Associated Press about the Notre Dame Boston College Rivalry I thought I'd share.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -- Notre Dame defensive end Trevor Laws knows he's supposed to have bad feelings toward Boston College. He's just not sure why.

"There's a little bit of animosity or something going on there. But personally, to me, it's all good," he said.

For fans, the rivalry isn't hard to understand. As Catholic universities with high academic standards, the schools draw some of the same applicants. They also are the only two Catholic schools playing major college football, so bragging rights at church Sunday morning are at stake.

By rivalry standards, though, it's a relatively new series. The Irish and Eagles have played only 16 times, most recently 13 straight seasons through 2004. Of the 11 other Notre Dame opponents this year, the only teams they've played less are UCLA and Duke.

It's different for BC, though, which moved from the Big East to the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2005. The only teams on its schedule it has played more than the Irish are Army, Massachusetts and Miami.

There have been a couple of major upsets in the past of this series, such as BC costing the Irish a National Title in 1993 and handing Notre Dame their first loss of the 2002 season. There also seems to be some sort of respect issue between the two schools. What does everyone think about this match-up in term of the better rivalries in college football?
