Rank your school's rivalries for the next decade

Just curious to see how everyone views their rivalries going forward over the next 10 years with their current coaching staffs and the new additions ( A&M & Missouri). Obviously certainly rivalries will always be bigger than others, but LSU and bama for instance has become a big rivalry due to Saban and both competing for national championships the past decade.
For Ole Miss, my order and reasoning:
1) LSU- This rivalry lost some of its edge while we struggled, but I think it is on its way back to being near the top for the SEC. There will always be someone who yells "Go to Hell LSU" after the national anthem every game, and that will never change. Last year I believe we had the bama game circled, but this year and every other year, it's LSU.
2)Miss State- This one could lose steam if we keep recruiting more out of state, but their is still a lot of animosity between the fans. They will always perceive us as pretentious preppy douchebags, and most of our fans will always think of them as rednecks. Thus, keeping the rivalry intense.
3) Bama - We will need to win a game more than every 15 years for this to be a rivalry for both sides, but I see this getting intense as we continue to go against bama in recruiting.
4) Auburn- This was intense after the Tuberville situation, but Auburn embarrassing him made me not hate them. Gus and Freeze seem to be good friends which drops this behind Auburn.
5) Arkansas- The Nutt thing made this series interesting for a few years, but y'all were right, Nutt was terrible and we should have listened.
6) A&M- Don't really have anything against their fans or team, but this has potential to get bigger as more kids from Dallas and Houston go to Ole Miss.

TSIO is going to be amazing the next 10 years
I'm expecting good games with UGA as well, although that hasn't historically been the biggest rivalry
We're dominating everyone else during that time so no one else is really worth mentioning.

None.
Other than maybe Georgia if we continue to battle for the East year after year...and even that would only be a friendly competition.

Clemson
Bama
Georgia
I'd like to put UF and UT on there but I'll be in a retirement home the next time we play either of them, apparently

I just can't consider Vandy a rivalry. I don't really have any negative feelings towards Vandy. Got to meet Brad Gaines at a game last year and I'm pretty sure he's one of the best human beings to ever play SEC football. And also, unless Franklin comes back, Vandy is just not going to be competitive in football.

I'll safely predict LSU will continue to ask all except UGA, eta: Missou, Kentucky, and Vandy to STTDB

MSU - Will always be #1. One of the most balanced rivalries over the last decade.
LSU - Close rivalry until 2002, lost 6 straight after that. Nutt and Freeze made it interesting again.
Arkansas - Another very close rivalry (Ark has 4 game lead in series).
Aggies - Ole Miss should be on a 3 game win streak against them, f'ing JFF
Vanderbilt - Very close since 2000, Rebs hold an 8-6 advantage. Vanderbilt opened the series winning 19 straight and Ole Miss managed just 27 points in all 19 games combined. FU Vandy!!!
Florida - The other easy win from the East for the Rebels. We play them this year, but will not play them again until the change of the century. TSIO and DSOR suck.
Auburn - Never
Alabama - Never ever never

Good question. You're all fighting for LSU recruits, so I wish nothing but the worst for all of you

I agree that this is lower, but Auburn did not embarrass Tubs (His wife did a good job of that), his son is currently on our team, so you may want to rank us higher.
1A) Bama (If you live in Bama)
1B) UGA (If you live in GA)
3) LSU (Classic Games)
4) Arkie (Gus Factor plus Bert is Fat)
5) MSU (those cow bells are annoying)
6) Ole Miss (Nicest Fans in the world)
7) TAMU (Too early and too far to be a true rivalry.

The Tubberville era games were almost all classics. Pretty much every bizarre outcome was accomplished during that time
