The Big Ten boasts some of college football's greatest rivalries, so it comes as no surprise that it's rivalry trophies are among the best of the bunch.

According to NFL.com's list of college football's best rivalry trophies, the latest installment in its popular 15 for '15 series, the nation's top four trophies reside in the Big Ten.
That's right, the site ranks Floyd of Rosedale No. 1, Paul Bunyan's Axe No. 2, Little Brown Jug No. 3, and Old Oaken Bucket No. 4.
The first non-Big Ten trophy on the list? That would be The Troll, the annual Division III trophy between Concordia-Moorhead and St. Olaf.
The Illibuck makes its way on the list, as well, at No. 11, giving the Big Ten six of the 15 trophies, exactly 40 percent of the list.
It's impossible to complain about a ranking that puts the Big Ten in the top four spots. They picked the right trophies, too. Personally, though, I think Paul Bunyan's Axe is the best of the best.
How about you?
