Modern Era these are incredibly intense rivalries because of the stakes. The West Title goes through Tuscalousa, Auburn, and Baton Rouge every year. Since Miles and Saban have been at Bama and LSU this has become the best rivalry in the SEC because it's the "Talent Bowl" from a National perspective. Half these kids will be playing in the league on Sunday's.

For Bama, this is a rivalry game if they want to admit it or not. Anytime you have 2 teams playing each other with National implications year in and out its a rivalry. LSU has been the biggest game for Saban in the West consistently.
