Longest continuous NCAA college football rivalries

Following are the longest active continuously-played series in NCAA college football.[65][66][67][68][obsolete source] Many historic series were interrupted by World War I, the 1918 flu pandemic and World War II. More recently, other longstanding rivalries were terminated by the conference realignments of the early 2010s and early 2020s, or were interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
