It's obvious that ABC/ESPN is pushing the SEC for Alabama-LSU but that so-called "rivalry" only remains compelling while Saban is in Tuscaloosa. As soon as he retires, it goes back to just being a typical SEC game that no one really looked forward to until 2007.

I remember from the mid to late 90s through the early 2000s, LSU & Auburn were far more of a bigger rivalry than LSU & Bama.
