Top 5 Potential Terp Rivals In The Big 10
The Maryland Terrapins make the move to the BIG 10 Conference this season & new rivalries will be forged. Here's a look at the top 5 potential rivals for the Terps:
5. Illinois
Similar Size & history
4. Michigan State
Michagan knocked the Terps out of the 2010 tournament, that alone could be be enough to seed a rivalry
3.Indiana
Classic Basketball power that the Terps defeated in the championship game to win their 1st ever Basketball National Championship in 2002.
2. Rutgers
The Fridge! Plus the scools are close & entering the Big 10 as the new kids together.
1. Penn State
James Franklin! who by all accounts should have been Maryland's Head Football coach. The teams have played each other regularly for years. It also could mirror the Ravens/Steelers rivalry with tons of Penn Staters already living in Maryland & traveling well.
