With the help of message board members beginning in 2014, we—the students and professors of the Know Rivalry Project—began answering this question and others related to rivalry in the NCAA Football. Please help us update and expand our results to ensure that the Appalachian State Mountaineers are included by taking 9 minutes to complete our newest survey:

https://umassamherst.co1.qualtrics.com/ ... 1&mbsrc=mb

Our previous results have been featured in numerous sports media outlets, as well as the Wall Street Journal and New York Times. You can view those results and learn more about us at our KnowRivalry.com website BUT we'd prefer you didn't until you completed the survey via the link above... we don't want to influence your opinions provided in the survey.

We use the Qualtrics online survey software for data collection. This academic research has been approved by two US universities' Institutional Review Boards (IRB) and it poses no risks to respondents. You'll find more information on the disclosure agreement that is required to start the survey. Thank you for helping us to include the Mountaineers by participating and please share this with any other fans that may also help.

Georgia Southern and Charlotte. I started the survey but it was too long so I closed out.

I put the same thing!

GaSo= 70%
ECU= 10%
UNCC=10%
Wake= 10%

Based on the teams I want to beat the most, not necessarily rivals.

Georgia Southern=50%
UNC=40%
JMU=10%

JM who?

Boo and a hiss.

It is not that long for some good sociological studies. Just seeing the questions asked is interesting.

Ga So 70%
CCU 10 %
ULLLLLLLLW 10%
Charlotte 10%

I should have put GaSo at 60% and gave a bit to Wake and UNC-CHeat.

Based on the vitriol a few of the CCU players have towards App, I could see them becoming a major rival soon.

I don’t like that blond mullet kid.

I do wish JMU would make it to FBS football. In ways I think they could be a better rival than most anyone. Maybe it is the streamers. I don't know why, but I do know I don't like 'em.

1. Georgia Southern
2. Wake Forest
3. East Carolina
4. Marshall
5. Western Carolina/Charlotte/whatever pesky team talks about us 365 days a year
