Tier 1: Alabama - Auburn, LSU - Florida, Auburn - Georgia, Florida - Georgia
These schools are good across the board in athletics and usually have a strong rivalry regardless of the sport. These are also strong, dated rivalries
Tier 2: Alabama - Tennessee, Mississippi State - Ole Miss, Tennessee - Florida, Georgia - Tennessee
These rivalries may be storied and may consist of historically good programs, but due to a lack of recent success by some of these schools, these rivalries have suffered a bit.
Tier 3: LSU - Texas A&M, Kentucky - Tennessee, LSU - Arkansas, Alabama - LSU, Vanderbilt - Tennessee
Some of these aren’t “storied” rivalries and have kind of developed over the past 10 years. All of them have potential if they continue to heat up.

Not a bad rating system but the lsu/a&m one is heating up and getting good

Yeah, it could easily be Tier 2 if they have another great game this year.
Tier 1 in 3 years minimum.

If I was 10 yrs old, I’d say Vandy/ Tennessee.

what?
I know SC fans are going to joke about how we wish to be their rivals, but this "rivalry" doens't belong anywhere near tier 2. Outside of about a 4-5 year period when 1)SC was actually good nationally 2)they had spurrier as coach, this hasn't really been any sort of rivalry at all.

Well, I did it based on the fans perspectives as well and the SC fans hate y’all. They definitely thinks it’s a rivalry and many other SEC fans consider it one too.

Georgia-Tennessee a much bigger rivalry than Georgia-South Carolina.
And it's Georgia-Florida. When the Gators catch up in the win column, it can be Florida-Georgia.

So I guess bama/ole miss is a tier 2 rivalry as well, since ole miss happened to beat bama a few times?

I honestly didn’t think of Georgia - Tennessee. I’ll add it.

We need to bring the beer barrel back. If we could win a couple of times in a row it would be more interesting. Theres still hatred though

Your best team in forever got completely dominated by the least talented team to ever take the field at UT, I don’t see Kentucky reeling off multiple victories in a row any time soon

I don't see it either, that's why I said "IF" we could, not that we will.
We might be able to win this year, we'll see. UT is a game that no matter how bad they are I expect an L

Still expecting VOLS to win that fixture. Even in Lyles hilarious last season, we were still a foot away from walking out of Lexington with a W

They win one time and suddenly it’s a rivalry....
Posted on 4/19/19 at 2:38 pm to Fives
Based off this board, it's easily the most heated, but that's due to the large number of insane LSU and A&M members who comment. I would say your analysis is correct for the rest of the world, which makes up 99.99%

As much as you all hated the bull dyke, imagine what it would be like having your team lose to him multiple times.
The horror...
