Tennessee and Auburn have more relevance to the fans. LSU has been more relevant as competitor for the division and conference for the last 2 decades. It would stop being a rivalry if LSU went off the rails for a prolonged period. There isn’t the multigenerational hate from the Bama fanbase to fuel a rivalry when the team is bad. Vols were awful for over a decade and winning TSIO was still a big one.

I get that.
However, that hate started somewhere. And many years from now, Alabama LSU WILL be like that.
The catalyst was Saban going to Bama. We weren't alive for the beginning of the rivalries we know today.
But years from now, it'll be talked about the same. Remember, LSU wasn't ever "good" consistently until the 2000s.
Just because it isn't an old rivalry now, doesn't mean it won't be later. And I think it will.
