What is the longest running in-state college football rivalry?

Answer 1

ARMY & Maryland

The official 2005 NCAA Football Records Book says the "longest uninterrupted series" is Nebraska-Kansas, 99 games, (now 100), continuous since 1906. The "most-played rivalry" is listed as Minnesota-Wisconsin, 114 games, (now 115), since 1890.

The oldest and most continuously played game is 123 years straight. As of 2009, Germantown Academy and the Wm. Penn Charter School (both in Pennsylvania) these high schools have been playing one another every fall since 1886.

EDIT/CORRECTION:

LEHIGH & LAFAYETTE have played every year since 1884. THAT is the longest, continuous College Football rivalry.
