Spoke with a friend who is a Bama fan...he said this was a rivalry in the 60's and 70's but with Tenn falling off the map it is not a rivalry game anymore. His words, not mine.
Whelp lets look at Dick Saban words:
"For our players, this was a bigger rivalry than any other game that we played. I’m talking about rivalry game. Even bigger than Auburn to our players." - Dick Saban 2024
Well, I guess it's a good thing your friend wasn't on the Bama team. Your buddy must not be from Alabama.

The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party gave you the pageantry of college football, but that game hasn't been close in 15 years.
this is mostly correct, only becuase kirby is doing his best to be our version of spurrier vs florida. But I think this mindset is eeeeeeever so slightly misleading if you only look at the W/L records.
2018: It was a 6 point game with 9 minutes remaining in the game
2019: It was a 6 point game with 10 minutes left int he game
2020: UF led comfortably from halftime through the end'
2024: It was tied with 5 minutes left in the game
2025: UF led by 3 with 5 minutes left in the game
Despite the headslines showing UGA beatings more often than not, the games have actaully been kinda surprisingly close for most of the way in most of them.

The Columbia cup with SCAR. They are good people to hang out with, and weird crap happens in the games. No hate, just fun.

Not counting Auburn, I like the WLOCP and Egg bowl.

Only correct answer if you are a charter SEC school
Poor national media putz's will ramble about BuckNuts vs MeatChicken. SEC noobs may talk Taters vs Cocks or Sooners vs NutLess Cows. Older folks may say Tide vs Vols or Dawgs vs Bumbles.
It is tLandmass tho, hands down.

Definitely my favorite. The venue, the Texas State Fair, the bitterness of the rivalry. It goes back over 100 years and to things that had little to do with football including the Bridge War. It just seems to be the most culturally colorful of the rivalry games.

Arkansas/Missouri
Simply for the fact that neither fanbase thinks it's a rivalry game.

Egg Bowl if I can find the Russian broadcast.

You left off the power house SC vs Missouri...

That game proves there's a program more cursed than Mizzou

In no particular order...
The Iron Bowl.
The Egg Bowl.
The Red River Rivalry.
A lot of great OOC rivalries are either dead or hanging on by a shoe string. Mizzou vs Kansas or Oklahoma vs Okie Lite.

Ark/Mizzou was fun when the Hogs would come in struttin' "we're the clearly superior program!". They've kinda backed off on that.
But SCAR was always more enjoyable.
Kansas. We'd play every year if Bill Selfs ego didn't get in the way. Yes, he runs the whole damn school.

Good friend moved to Mobile in high school, and he went to Auburn. I'll never forget the kick six while I was setting up the Christmas tree in 2013.

Egg bowl is my favorite outside of bama. I lived in Mississippi for a while in my 20s and they frickin hate each other.
As a kid it was Florida/Tennessee in late September

LSU v A&M is my favorite outside of ours. Iron bowl would be a close 2nd.
