It isn't rivalry week just yet, but there are some games being played this weekend with rekindled pasts and rivalry aspirations. They're important games, just not as big as the main rivalries we see closer to the end of the season.
Some of these matchups have long, storied pasts that have either dwindled or fallen off throughout the years but will be on full showcase this weekend. Pitt and Penn State, for example, have played 97 times going all the way back to 1893.
The two took a 16-year break after the 2000 game (which Pitt won 12-0), but they are now back on and better than ever.
