Rivalary games?

[gopokes]

When schools are playing their arch rivals play each other (Wisconsin and Minnesota, BYU and Utah, Texas and Oklahoma, Wyoming and CSU, etc) will the underdog play a better game than they normally would because of it being a rival game?
Say Texas is undefeated and Oklahoma has a losing record would the game be closer or maybe even Oklahoma would pull an upset?
Or are rivals not available in this version of the game?

Rivalry games will be in the game and there certainly is an added significance from both teams. I haven't really tracked the "upset-rate", but it wouldn't surprise me if it's slightly higher given the higher importance on both sides.

Thanks for the info Arlie. Sounds really cool!
