Without a doubt it is Duke vs. North Carolina.

Look at the two schools. Ever heard of "Tobacco Road?" It's the road that is less than ten miles long that separates the two schools. That's why they call it "The Battle for Tobacco Road."

The is college basketball's best rivalry for these reasons:

- Two of the most storied basketball programs of all time.
- Two hall-of-fame coaches (Mike Krzyzewski: 3 national championships -- Roy Williams: 2 national championships).
- Both teams are in the ACC and play each other twice and sometimes three times per year.
- Both team's arenas are two of loudest and toughest to play at.
- So many great moments from Jeff Capel's half-court shot in 1995 to Gerald Henderson blatantly elbowing Tyler Hansbrough in the face in 2008 (not to mention Coach K's and Coach Williams' media shots at one another).

There is no denying that this is the greatest College Basketball rivalry there is and will continue to be.
