Is MSU/LSU this best rivalry in college baseball? The series started in 1907. Current record is 207-175-1 in favor of the Bulldogs. There have been a lot of meaningful games played between the two with LSU being victorious in most of them recently. Here's a pretty cool write up on the rivalry from last year.

The regal rivalry

It's definitely a major rivalry and one that sparked the rise of the college baseball popularity in the 90's

On the baseball diamond it's really tough to beat a 3 game series that pits Auburn against Tennessee ... Those two fanbases create an electricity that's tough to match.

It's certainly the SEC's premier Baseball rivalry. When Skip came along in the 80's with Polk already at MSU it was the series every year.

Nationally the game just isn't on enough people's radar to even register real baseball rivalries but LSU-MSU would be one of the top 5 that I can think of

That's a good one. I was trying to think of some more around the conference. CNB, is USC/Clemson any good?

LSU/MSU baseball is a great one. I love hating yalls baseball team, but I met some of the nicest MSU baseball fans at a tailgate a few years ago who ended up inviting us to their football tailgate that fall and came to ours a couple years later in BR. I'll always respect cowbell fans cause that.

Georgia-GT is cool in the fact that we play one at UGA, one at Tech, and one at Turner Field every year.

But college baseball is boring

Definitely one of the best. Ron Polk and Skip Bertman put college baseball on the map in the 80's and 90's. Should be a great game tonight and the atmosphere will be electric

Almost as electric as some of those West Coast classics: Pepperdine vs UC Santa Barbara,
Cal Poly vs San Jose St. Cal Santa Cruz vs Irvine.
They play in front of HUUUUUGE overflow crowds............

The Banana Slugs vs Anteaters is truly a treat...

SC vs Clemson has been the #1 College Baseball Rivalry for a long time.

Stopped reading when I saw LSU/Tulane and MSU/OM in the top 4. That list is literal shite.

That's cause you hate those schools, but you can't ignore the history.
