If the sequel is even half as good as the original, the rematch of last year's showdown between Michigan and Ohio State could be the most highly anticipated game of the entire 2017 college football season.
In ranking the top rematches, the goal was to find games that will be guaranteed appointment television.
If it's a battle between teams who played each other in 2016 and who will enter 2017 with legitimate aspirations of a national championship, it probably made the list. If last year's affair was one of the more exciting games of the season, the rematch was a lock for a spot in the top five.
