TSIO or magnolia bowl? What you got? Please do not answer if you are a fan of one of the 4 schools mentioned.
I am also not trying to say that OM-LSU is better than TSIO, but rather trying to see what the SECr thinks of these games.
Nb4lsuhasnorivals, I get it, I don't care.

Historically, Bama - Tenn.
I actually did not know LSU - OM was a big rivalry game until we joined the SEC. I figured they were rivals just by way of being in the same division, but I never equated it to Bama - Tenn or Auburn - Georgia.

TSIO, in my opinion. Two traditional powerhouse teams duking it out, regardless of the fact that Tennessee has been down as of late.

Right now? Magnolia bowl. I haven't watched the Alabama Tennessee game in like ten years.

I think it's much more of a cultural thing with Ole Miss-LSU. If Ole Miss had kept up their end of the bargain this would be one of the best rivalries in the sport.

90% of the time- UT vs Bama
This year- OM vs LSU, if only to watch OM get humbled

Looks like LSU has left the "no rival" club

Bama-Tenn. Does many outside of the OM and LSU fanbases even know that it used to be a huge rivalry? LSU and Ole Miss don't always play on the Saturday before Halloween anymore either.

bammer-UT by a mile.
You would have to go back to Johnny Vaught vs. Paul Dietzel for OM-LSU to be even close.

Tsio and it isn't close.

UA/UT.

I'm aware of the history of OM-LSU, but I've followed Bama/TENN more.

Traditionally, Tennessee was a huge game for both Bama and Tennessee. That is because it was competitive. Tennessee needs to step it up for this game to regain its luster.
I have always thought that the Bama/LSU game was a bigger rivalry than LSU/Ole Miss.

Tennessee vs Alabama.
The story of southern football is etched into the history of the rivalry. It's hard to pick a more important series in the history of the SEC.
LSU vs Ole Miss has a wonderful clash of culture and connects the two schools in the SEC most closely connected to the Mississippi River and it's delta. That being said, it lacks the historic relevance of the TSIO.

For you youngsters, LSU-UM was not really like the UA-UT rivalry, but more kind of like the recent brief UF-UT rivalry.
In short, LSU-UM was no big deal to anyone anywhere for decades (roughly up to 1957), then a very big deal for about 15 years (roughly from about 1958-73), and lastly a big deal only to the two schools involved because of the bad blood from the previous 15 years (roughly from about 1974-onward).
Despite Ole Miss sucking hard for the better part of the last 40 years or so, due to the atmosphere involved in rivalry games, the Rebs have been able to muster enough emotion to mount occasional upsets in the series since then--winning roughly a third of the games total since '74.

It's typically a better game.

And to put it another way, I don't think either Ole Miss or LSU would whine about playing each other every year if they were in different divisions.

UM vs LSU for me. LSU fans feel like they are a superior program, but Ole Miss always makes a game of it. It is funny to watch.
