in the 2000's LSU and Auburn was a big rivalry. LSU/Alabama was thought to be but 8 years in a row of losing has quieted that.
I think in 2019 LSU and Florida are definitely considered rivals because of the history but in the last few years because of the bad blood. Also there's not a lot of "streaks" of winning or losing in this series in the last 8-10 years it seems like.
2009 UF
2010 LSU
2011 LSU
2012 UF
2013 LSU
2014 LSU
2015 LSU
2016 UF
2017 LSU
2018 UF
60/40 winning/losing % for the series over 10 years. I think that and the bad blood between the players has made this into a great rivalry. especially since florida state and miami are both down.

The only thing that caused this yearly battle to even become a rivalry is the Arnsparger flip. When he left coaching of a peaking LSU to go administer UF athletics, he followed up with a Steve Spurrier that was passed up by LSU for a political brown-noser who flopped as a coach. And it costed us for the next 12 years.
