I was talking about this to a friend (new law school student) who was formerly an LSU fan (Yes I converted her). The way I understand our rivals (if there is an order) is something like this:
Auburn > Tennessee > Big drop off > probably UF? > then maybe LSU?

Now I have older family members who claim that Tennessee is a bigger rival for them than AU...I am in my 20's so for me i grew up watching us streak an unspeakable amount of losses to them and have decided they were my biggest rival.

What do you guys think? Thoughts?

Have a good hump day

I'd say it's AU with UT following close behind then huge drop off with LSU and UF following

Auburn > Tennessee > LSU. I don't really consider UF a rival; just a tough opponent during the Spurrier and Meyer years

I think it also depends where you're from.


If you're from either Alabama or Tennesee, it's probably
AU
UT
LSU.

If you're from somewhere else, it's probably
AU
LSU
UT.
Most of the current students probably have LSU over UT, since LSU has been a more important game than TSIO recently, also the fact that we played them in the National championship adds some weight as well.

For me it's

AU
LSU





UT.

How I feel, although I can understand many throwing Lsu into the mix some. But it's got a lot of growing to become what Tenn and Auburn is.

since Saban has been here, Id honestly would rank LSU ahead of Tennessee. Plus the fact, Tennessee hasnt been worthy much the past decade.

All subject to change.

I can't stand anything Auburn. Would love to see them lose every game.

Hated Tennessee during the fulmer bs. Now I am kinda warm to them. Want them to start winning again to add some flavor to the tsio.

I enjoy LSU fans and the game. They are a rival because of recent history. They will always be a power.

Atm could grow into a real rival. They have a lot of resources to compete at the highest level in the conference.

1. Tennessee
2. Auburn
3. LSU


I'm not from AL and I think I'm in the minority there for having UT first.

Tier One: Auburn and Tennessee

These are equal to me. While the Auburn one is more competitive right now, I still hate UT more. In fact, if given the choice I'd rather lose to Auburn than UT anytime. I want both teams to lose every game in every sport they compete in. I don't care if it is quidditch or competitive chess.

I don't want UT to get better. I hope they revel in their dumpster fire until the end of time.

(Big gap)


Tier two: Transient rivals:

LSU, but I doubt that I will care anymore about it than any other game when CNS retires.

UF: Now that CUM isn't there anymore, that rivalry has almost disappeared, but it is still very much a rivalry in gymnastics.

For me its:
Auburn
Tennessee
*huge drop off*
LSU
Florida

I grew up and live in Tennessee so Ive had to deal with them and their delusions more than Auburn folks. But I still Auburn is and always will be our biggest rival.
