UCF Big 12 rival. . . 5. . . . . . 463

Yes, this one might sound weird, especially with the distance between these two schools, but they are similar in many ways. They are both small schools with smaller athletic programs that are growing more and more each year.

UCF and Kansas State both have electric fanbases with students who stand behind the team no matter what. These fan bases could seriously rival each other when it comes to loyalty and believing in their teams.

This is also an interesting rivalry because UCF and Kansas State played each other in almost every sport each school had and for the bigger sports like football and men's basketball, they happened to open Big 12 play against each other in both.

this could be a really fun rivalry for UCF, however, Kansas State already has a big rivalry with a fellow in-state school Kansas. This one would have to be more of a smaller rivalry.
