So, to put it shortly, we don't worry about one opponent, a western division title, or even an SEC Championship. We worry about National Championships. No one rival program is more than that
bullshite.
Eta: before 2012 Bama had 2 SEC titles in 19 seasons and 4 in 30 years. Don't give me that bullshite about not caring about SEC titles.

Did you know that Coach Bryant didn't even let his teams get SEC Championship rings in 1966 (when we went undefeated but lost the NC to 9-0-1 Notre Dame)? His words: we win and celebrate NATIONAL Championships here.
Who gives a shite what an admittedly great coach said half a century ago? The college football landscape has changed drastically sense then and the SEC championship is a HUGE deal. You focus on winning each game so that you can reach the SEC championship and play for the privilege of representing your school and conference in a BCS bowl.
Still, some games are more important than others. Just ask Bill Curry what happens when you don't beat Auburn. The Auburn and Tennessee games are important to alumni, faculty, current students, and sidewalkers in a way that the Miss St and Arkansas games are not. A coach better realize quickly that those games carry a bit more weight to the people that sign his check.

As an LSU fan, this is exactly how I feel. The whole rivalry thing is blown out of proportion. Every game matters exactly the same when you are trying to win a national championship.
