re: Is LSU/Ole Miss not a rivalry game?

No shade to Ole Miss but they just haven't been good enough on a national level lately to make this a big rivalry type game year in and year out for the younger fans.

Yup. If OM had pulled out a few of those 5 losses by 3 points or less, it may be considered a bit more of a rivalry. The fact that OM lost those close games, while also be blown out 6 times makes it difficult to remain a "rivalry" in many fan's eyes.
