100% yes. It's #2 behind Auburn.
I would say that the AU rivalry has supplanted the UT rivalry....unless you are of certain age who view UT as the main rival. I do think if push came to shove the AD would keep the UT game over AU. It's been played a lot longer and I just don't see it happening that we would give it up just to accommodate AU when they get to keep the DSOR. They would get better games in the East but we give up either the #1 or #2 rivalry just to help them out? Why would Bama want to do that?

I think the root issue is that expansion has made it where (in my view, at least) we miss out on a lot of good games that were enjoyed in the past.
I actually am fine with the 9 SEC games a year. In the current system, it is crazy how long teams in the same conference can go without playing each other.
And I do not think Alabama/Tenn rivalry should go away, I was just wondering how Alabama fans felt about it now.
The truth is, I hate that expansion has reduced some of the games I really enjoyed. It might not sting as much had it not been teams like Mizzou getting added.
