I see great promise in LSU/A&M though. We really need Auburn in the East, they could still play Bama as cross division rival and it would allow Missou and Arkansas to have the war they are destined for.



Bama would lose the game with Tennessee if Auburn went to the EAST. Either BAMA/UT or UGA/AU is lost.

If Bama were put in the East they'd play TN every year and Auburn as the cross-divisional. But AU/UGA would be lost...as LSU/BAMA which has been great since 2007.

A fellow named Bear Bryant that knew a little about the series thought it was a pretty big rivalry. The biggest in his opinion.

Bama is almost as far west as State. Auburn would move, they would be in the East with UGA so you wouldn't lose that one. If it happened we would definitely go to two cross division rivals IMO. Of course, if we pick up more west schools like Texas and OU then this doesn't matter because both Bama and Auburn move to the East. Bama would probably pick us up as a cross and LSU would pick up Ole Miss. We don't have a rivalry with Bama in football but we've still played each other more times than any other team.

Rivalries are kind of dependent on the sport in some cases.


This.

The closest thing LSU really has to a rivalry is ULL or Tulane in baseball. There is a lot of hate in those matchups.

Missouri and Kansas are rivals.
Arkansas' rival is Texas.

None of that will change in the next 50 years.

This one is fake. Should be interesting to see if it develops into anything real.

12 years ago, Bama-UT was the nastiest rivalry in college football. It may have lost some luster, but it's far from fake.

I have high hopes for it. Both schools love basketball, both schools hate someone lurking in the Big 12, and both schools have a noted aversion to ever sharing a conference with Texas again.

Give it a decade to get some good refreshing hatred built up on both sides.

I'm not sure about USCe/UGA rivalry. But the USCe/toothpaste rivalry is the real deal.

this is easily the most underrated rivalry in the conference if you're not trolling. When both teams are good it really doesn't get much more intense
