re: Does anyone else think the UT/Bama rivalry feels forced?

UF and Bama are our biggest rivals and they always will be.

See, there's the thing, a loss to Alabama just doesn't hurt as much as a loss to UF for one primary reason, UT and UF are in the same division. They are truly rivals in the sense that they are competing for the same prize, a division championship. That's not the case with Alabama and Tennessee anymore - and their rivalry has suffered since.
