These are games in which both teams where ranked going in.
Obviously this only goes back to 1936
Times met where both teams where ranked in the AP Top 25
Alabama vs LSU: 27 times
Florida vs Tennessee: 24 times
Florida vs LSU: 23 times
Alabama vs Auburn: 22 times
Alabama vs Tennessee: 21 times
Auburn vs Georgia: 21 times
Now lets see things since 1992
Florida vs Tennessee: 19 times
Florida vs LSU: 18 times
Alabama vs LSU: 15 times
Auburn vs LSU: 13 times
Alabama vs Florida: 13 times
Georgia vs Tennessee: 13 times
Now, for fun, since the latest expansion: 2012
Alabama vs LSU: 6 times
Alabama vs Texas A&M: 5 times
Florida vs LSU: 4 times
Auburn vs Georgia: 4 times
and.... a lot more tied at 4
--I was honestly expecting to see Alabama vs Tennessee at the top of this list before I started looking. Somewhat surprised to see that not only is it not at the top, it barely makes the top 5.

I bet you can't wait for football to start so you can start brainstorming more offseason thread ideas.

It’s three games away from second place over the last 82 years

This really surprises me:
whereas:
I realize the Iron Bowl wasn't played from 1908 to 1947. LSU and Bama didn't play from 1931 to 1943 and also didn't play in 1949, 1950, 1956 and again from 1959 to 1965.
But no denying Auburn has the better record as both rivalries have the same number of contests (82) but Auburn has 11 more wins over Bama than LSU does.
Agreed.

Easily the 3 biggest conference games on LSU's schedule most years since 1992 so not a big surprise.

The only non Big Six matchup on this list.
But Aggy hasn't finished the season ranked since 2013. We shall see what Jimbo does for them.

They seem to go in cycles...when one program is up, the other is typically down.

Told you the iron bowl was a false rivalry

Bama was bad in the 50s...

Wait a minute.... I've been assured that the TSIO was always the premiere match up between the SEC's two best teams for decades right up until a few years ago. How is it tied for 5th?

Tennessee hasn’t held up their end of the bargain as far as being ranked when playing Bama. Granted, Bama had some periods here and there when we weren’t ranked, but the last 10 years has really mindfricked Tennessee.

Sean Bean, where do you get all your stats?
I used to be able access great stats like these on the CFBTrivia website, but last I checked it had been shut down. Are there any other great websites for gathering these types of statistics?
