One thing i take from this thread is that LSU-Bama definitely isn't as big of a rivalry as the media makes it out to be, which is weird considering how long they've played each other.

So, between Bama, UT, UGA, UF, Auburn, and Ole Miss, there are ideally 12 games out of 128 (or 144) that are already scheduled, regardless of pod/division setup. I wonder if that's doable. Too lazy to check now.

What about floating pods every couple years?

LSU/Bama is only a rivalry to LSU fans and young people.

Era: Florida is a bigger rivalry to me due to all the times we've faced them when we were both good either in season or in the seccg.

LSU/Alabama isn't a rivalry in the same sense that the other SEC rivalries are. It's a rivalry in that we regularly compete with divisional, conference and national championships on the line, get into recruiting battles, etc. but it lacks the historical relevance of more established rivalries. Alabama's that team we have to beat to win the title, not that team we hate.

(I use "we" somewhat loosely; I don't really "hate" any other teams. I mean the fanbase as a whole.)

What? They haven't played long at all! The Auburn/UGA rivalry started 100 years before they started playing regularly, and the Bama/Tenn started 90 years before they started playing regularly.
