Football: SEC Teams' SEC Super Bowls
Posted on 7/23/14 at 7:18 pm

Alabama: None. Teams like LSU, Auburn (when they're good), and Georgia will obviously require a little extra preparation and attention because they're tougher opponents. However, Alabama does not perennially put on their best game versus a specific SEC opponent. When Auburn is decent or good, Alabama struggles. If the Iron Bowl was Alabama's Super Bowl, then one might expect Alabama to perform to their talent and dominate. Similar things can be state regarding LSU. Alabama has the better program and arguably better coaching. The difference in talent between Alabama and LSU is irrelevant. Both football programs have nearly equally developed personnel and comparable coaching. In conclusion, Alabama does not have a Super Bowl in the SEC.
Arkansas: LSU. Even when Arkansas is terrible (2012-present), they've still given LSU fits. Arkansas recently made a few major upsets versus LSU that that are still ingrained in our minds (2010 and 2007).
Auburn: Alabama. Auburn fans are likely split over which team they'd like to defeat more, Alabama or Georgia, but lately Alabama has overshadowed Georgia and grown a huge target on its back. When Auburn is good, they put on a show versus Alabama. Defense has been a problem for Auburn for a while now, yet you couldn't really tell in the second halves of the 2010 and 2013 Iron Bowls.
Florida: Georgia? Georgia is the only SEC team that might be Florida's Super Bowl. The games have certainly been intense and dirty the past 3 years, and Spurrier used to love whipping Georgia while he was Florida's head coach.
Georgia: Florida? I honestly don't think Georgia has a Super Bowl versus any SEC team. Sure, Georgia would like to beat Florida, but do they go all in versus Florida perennially? I'd say no. Georgia doesn't regularly deliver their most impressive performances versus Florida.
Kentucky: None. Kentucky isn't a football school, and I haven't noticed a program that they appear to single out yearly.
LSU: Alabama. Without a doubt, Alabama is LSU's Super Bowl. The game is currently dubbed the "Saban Bowl" and has the appearance of a rivalry though Alabama and LSU aren't traditional rivals. Ever since Saban arrived at Alabama, the game has risen to another level. The regular season contests are always intense and usually end close. LSU plays down to the competition sometimes, like Arkansas and Ole Miss, but they play up to Alabama. LSU is only second to Alabama in the SEC, and no other SEC program has been consistently close to either since Saban arrived at Alabama. LSU perennially plays one of their best games versus Alabama. Alabama doesn't appear to share the same level of intensity, i.e. Alabama doesn't bring their A-game.
Mississippi State: Ole Miss (rivalry), Auburn. Ole Miss is fairly obvious and requires no analysis. The outcome of the Auburn game usually has great bearing on the winner's season. Mississippi State is 2-5 versus Auburn since 2007, but only one of those losses was decided by more than one possession. I think Auburn is mentally highlighted on Mississippi State's schedule.
Missouri: None. They just arrived in the SEC. Eventually, some SEC opponent will become "special" for them.
Ole Miss: LSU. This is one of the easiest picks in this thread. LSU has the better program, greater resources, and significantly better talent, but Ole Miss has given them a lot of trouble the past several years aside from 2011 when LSU fielded their most dominant team of all time and Ole Miss fielded one of their worst.
South Carolina: Georgia. Spurrier hates Georgia. South Carolina regularly plays Georgia hard and definitely guns to bring them down every season. Spurrier probably spends a significant portion of the offseason preparing for Georgia. The teams aren't rivals, but South Carolina's coach and some fans harbor some strong hatred for the Bulldogs.
Tennessee: None. Tennessee is down. When they become good again, one of their SEC rivals will likely become their Super Bowl. My bet's on Alabama.
Texas A&M: None. Texas A&M fans appear to harbor significant hatred or jealousy for LSU, yet this doesn't express itself in the program. LSU has been the Aggies' worst game the past two seasons. Part of that is due to scheme, but part of it also boils down to the fact that neither program seems to care that much about the other despite the joking around between fans here.
Vanderbilt: None. Ole Miss is the only team that comes to mind, but I'm unable to make that call.
This is a serious thread; I didn't put this much effort into this thread for it to be disregarded or derided. I'd appreciate civil responses. Are there any major inaccuracies? Overall, do you agree with what I posted?

I remember bama fans celebrating like they just won a championship when they only lost by a TD to AU in 2004.
High point of Bamas season by far. Good times.

As much as I hate to admit it, from a fan perspective, UK's is Tennessee. I wish it was the players' Super Bowl as well.

You're likely inbred.

Maybe not, but you can't tell me UGA fans don't wanna beat UF the most out of any team on their schedule.
I lived in Georgia for 13 years. I can comfortably say the majority of UGA fans consider UF the biggest game on the schedule.

If you are circling a team that regularly is placed higher than others from within the SEC... I could see UGA circling WLOCP.
We've tried our darnedest to get our bye week before that game. And when successful with that scheduling, we've found success on the field (and vice versa for Florida).
If there is a must-win game for 2014 though... I would say @ Missouri. I don't think UGA can afford to give the keys to the division to Missouri with @Scar and the late game against Auburn on the schedule still.

Alabama's Super Bowl is the national championship game. If they get there, even with a regular season loss, it's ok. Right or wrong, it's championship or bust.
That being said, LSU is a the most important game during the year. Until that game is over and Auburn becomes the focus (depending on the previous year's Iron Bowl).
Alabama cares about no one else on their schedule.

dafuq?
lulz
I've read some trumped-up bull$#+! on this board before ... but that one is close to the worst.
UGA is an important game.
Neither Spurrier or our fans hate UGA. We endeavor to surpass them, but we do not hate them. They are a mile marker, nothing more.
No fricking way are they are our Super Bowl. Sheesh. What nonsense.
The SECCG is our Super Bowl. It's not easy to get there.
Oh, and no, Spurrier does not prepare all off season for UGA. He prepares for the next game ... THAT is why he is successful.

Barrett Jones on LSU:

Tennessee is definitely Vandy's Super Bowl. Probably UK's as well when we're halfway decent.
