Rivalry Weeks 2023

 Quick post here as most of you are arriving in Chicago today.

Here are our 2023 Rivalry Weeks (Weeks 1 & 14) Matchups, sorted by the joint ranking (14 points max):
1. Esco vs. Weissbard - 14.0 Points - The Halloween Prank Bowl VI
2. Alan vs. Levine - 13.0 Points - The Unexpected Shade Bowl III
3. Barnard vs. Kumpf - 12.5 Points - The One-Sided Rivalry Bowl III
4. (tie) Gutman vs. Marco - 12.0 Points - The Dad Bowl VI aka The Father of Two Bowl IV
4. (tie) Billy vs. Bennett - 12.0 Points - The Tag Team Bowl II (this admittedly made more sense when Marshall was still "involved" for the first one in 2018)
6. Ajay vs. Nick - 11.5 Points - The Earliest To Leave Draft Weekend Bowl
7. AGD vs. Zacherman - 11.0 Points - The AGD Filled The Survey Out Wrong Bowl

Here is the raw data:

• Despite making the Stevens Bowl last year, Bennett took the mantle of "Most Desired Rival" from Barnard, with two-time champ Weissbard also passing him in the ranks.
• Levine is unsurprisingly the Least Desired Rival, followed by AGD and Zacherman.
• The league was most split on how to rank Barnard, with most of us giving him a top 5 spot (and 4 of us putting him at the top!), while others had him much lower.
• Billy and I had the most consistent rankings, right around the middle of the pack.

See most of you tomorrow.
