I'd certainly say it's become a top flight rivalry, but doesn't touch the Iron Bowl.

It's a rivalry on one side, an important game on the other.

You all should get together and hold a rivalry meeting so y'all can all be on the same page with this.

"Everywon not in fabr of calling dis' here team a ribal, raise ur pom poms. Everywon in fabr, raise em' anywho because we love our roll damn tahd pom poms!"

Y'all hold that meeting while LSU fans are holding theirs about who sucks more this year, LSU or LSU.

By definition, since Saban has gotten there this has been a great rivalry. I mean, the teams met in a BCS title game after playing once during the regular season two years ago. LSU is not a traditional rival like Bama and AU, etc. That's a different thing and always will be. But right now, by definition, LSU is a rival. A lot of LSU fans enjoyed beating Auburn more before Saban got to Bama. That felt like more of a rivalry then. So this seems like just an at-the-moment thing right now.
