Off the top of my head, I'm not aware of too many situations, if any, where a team's default rivals includes someone that's in their conference but they don't play every year. For example, the SEC rivals I'm familiar with were either in-division or one of the protected rivalry games.

One other important thing to note is that the contract goal, at least in my case, was to beat 100% of my rivals in one season. Over the course of my contract, I only needed to do it once. I just didn't pay attention and actually schedule all my rivals.
