<p>Ah, I thought you were making the areguement that rivalries were based on presitige, not breaking it down. Sorry. However, my point remains that Big Game records trump any prestige changes for the schools in question as far as the rivalries go. As for USF, I couldn't say about the present, but I know that it was a rivalry at one time.</p>
<p>Also, you are correct that Stanford students created a fake Daily Californian and thus distributed it. Cal (and the Daily Cal, as well as most people outside of Palo Alto) believed then and still believe the score to be 25-20.</p>
