Applecup higher ranked than Clean Old fASHIONED hATE is indicative of how off the list is. When that game is not in Seattle there might be 25K in attendance....

I would have LSU-Florida ahead of any of the other teams listed for LSU, especially in the last 20 years.
Two teams that hate each other and you know it’s going to be a good game, regardless of how each team is doing that year.

Well, that's because Martin Stadium only seats 32,000+. Furthermore, I guarantee there ain't an empty seat in that stadium when the Huskies come to town.
There's some deep hatred in that game and it has all the things you want in a rivalry - ag/elite school, class warfare, etc. Unfortunately, it will fall by the wayside and be sacrificed at the B1G's monetary altar.
The one I don't get is UNC/Virginia being ahead of Ole Miss and LSU. Those two schools DGAF about football.

How dishonest can you be? It's unequivocal who LSU's most hated rival is. I'm sure you wanna forget about Bama whippin' that Tiger arse over the last twenty years too.

Yep. And the W/L record is 34-34-3
The LSU Alabama "rivalry" is a handful of good years mixed between many more awful years.

How is Iowa/Wisconsin ahead of any of these?

Old Piss fan deciding who LSU hates the most
I know you hate that no LSU fan under the age of 50 recognizes Ole Miss as a rival but you just need to worry about your rivalry with MS State, which has zero impact on the rest of college football besides free entertainment.

I know more LSU fans than you do.

That’s a lot of daddies.
Why isn’t LSU number 1 for Ole Miss then…?
You strive to be LSU and every one of your best teams loses to LSU. Hell, you even rush the field after giving up 49 points to LSU at home when LSU already had a loss
Ole Miss vs MS State is simply a free midget fight on Thanksgiving.

Their tailgates where they argue about wine pairings and esoteric cheeses are riveting.

Y’all rushed the field last year.
And in 2022.
The last time the field wasn’t rushed in our rivalry was in 2021, when we beat y’all in Oxford?
Now who is little brother, again?

What was Ole Miss’ record before losing to LSU in 2022 and 2024…?
I know Ole Miss failed to score a 2nd half TD in either game, so LSU fans definitely didn’t rush the field after giving up 49 points at home.
Brian Kelly dick slapping Ole Miss in his first year on his way to the SECCG, in his first year, definitely didn’t go over too well for Black Bear fans who still have never been
You’re living proof

All this because y'all rush the field every time y'all beat us and we don't return the favor? Calm down, little bro. Here's your attention.
