The term 'Crimson Rivals' refers to the four major college sports rivals of Harvard University, which are the ELIS of Yale University, the YALIES of Yale University, the ELI of Brown University, and the Vols of the University of Tennessee. The Bama of the University of Alabama is also sometimes included in this group. All of these teams compete fiercely against each other in various sports, with Harvard's Crimson team often emerging victorious.
