Florida big dick swinging on here as all the rivals they listed have a larger reverse number, except for the negligible South Carolina at the bottom.

First time I've seen that sig pic. Good work to the one who created it. Good man for honoring your bet.

I blindly took the survey (without peeking to see the overall results) with my LSU fan hat on.

I said:
Bama: 40
Florida: 25
Ole Miss: 15
Auburn: 10
Texas A&M: 5
Tulane: 5

Survey says:
Bama: 50 (19 reverse rival points)
Ole Miss: 13 (44 reverse rival points)
Florida: 11 (6 reverse rival points)
Arkansas: 10 (35 reverse rival points)
Texas A&M: 7 (22 reverse rival points)
Auburn: 4 (6 reverse rival points)

No surprise LSU fans see Bama overwhelmingly as their top rival whereas Bama fans see Auburn as theirs (and vice versa).

Also, not so surprising Ole Miss views LSU as a rival on par with State but LSU fans don't feel likewise.

What is surprising is how high Arkansas rates LSU.

I'm going to guess the Iron Bowl rates highest amongst all SEC rivalries. As it should.

I didn't know there were any Gamecock fans who didn't think Clemson was our biggest rival. Those people need to be educated. I'd trade every win in our history against UGA to beat Clemson this year.

The score is based on how many points out of 100 you allocate to the rivalry.

So if you give 60 to Clemson, that leaves 40 points to allocate to other lesser rivalries.

It doesn't mean 40% of Carolina fans don't view Clemson as their top rival. Quite the contrary.

Sort of. They also have an aggregate number that totals up the "reverse rival points" or how your rival rates the rivalry.

The Iron Bowl has a high aggregate score but not as high as Clemson/South Carolina, which has the highest aggregate score in the Southland.

Ole Miss fans only think LSU is a rival because they believe the association makes them a little more relevant

Why do y’all let your butthurt be public on this issue every time it’s brought up?

If you didn’t notice we were LSU’s second rival

Do they care about the rivalry as much as us? No. Just like we don’t care about the egg bowl as much as y’all

You only see it as "butthurt" because you know it's true

That is false. It was bitter in the old days and our parents and grandparents taught us to hate them. We are not making it up, it is genuine.

Our decline killed it for a lot of LSU fans, but the fact we are their #2 speaks for itself.

And y’all get butthurt any time it is mentioned. Could it be that you are insecure that only Southern Miss fans have a larger reverse number to yourselves than any other school? No one cares about State, except Ole Miss, and you get sad that we don’t care enough.
