LSU doesn't have a natural in state rivalry and the bordering states have their own traditional rivalries
Ole Miss back in the Johnny Vaught days was big
They tried to manufacture a LSU Arkansas rivalry but it's rare that game has big stakes for both programs as Hogs haven't really been a factor in the sec or nationally
The Florida game has developed into a nice annual game
A&M had a little history prior to Aggies joining SEC but again, the stakes of that game have been much bigger for LSU as Aggies have yet to make a SEC title game

LSU is never gonna have a rival because they don't have another school in-state. That pretty much kills it right there and the others mentioned above have such deep roots that fans were raised on.
I think once Saban is gone from Bama LSU will develop some sort of rival with somebody in closer proximity but Saban being at Bama makes it their biggest game as of right now but in time LSU-Bama will be pretty uneventful like it was up until 2007.
