The Duke-UNC basketball rivalry is so fierce that the Huffington Post ranked it 7th in its list of 10 best college football rivalries.
Our rivalry followed the Ohio State vs. Michigan, USC vs. Notre Dame, Alabama vs. Auburn, Oklahoma vs. Texas, Indiana vs. Purdue and Army vs. Navy football rivalries.
"Even though this is a football-centric list, there's no way to ignore this legendary hoops rivalry," according to the website.
Although it did give us a flattering ranking, the Huffington Post makes some outlandish claims about the rivalry.
"While the two schools annually meet on the gridiron, fanfare for the game is generally lacking," according to Huffington Post. "Duke hasn't had a ranked team for a while and North Carolina has recently been plagued by scandal. Really, all of the good stuff goes down on the hardwood."
Nonetheless, this should validate many of the Cameron Crazies' freezing couple of months in Krzyzewskiville.
