re: Battle for the Boot is a top 5 rivalry over the last decade

It's been a back and forth series as of late, but that doesn't make it a good rivalry. A lot more goes into a rivalry than just relative parity. I can't speak for Arky fans, but the LSU fanbase is not excited about the Arkansas game. And I don't mean that to disparage Arkansas, as the facts show, it's been a competitive series. There's just not much draw.

Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Ole Miss are all games that LSU fans hands down are more up for than Arkansas. It's a fabricated rivalry.
