Ole Miss/LSU is without a doubt a top tier SEC rivalry. In my opinion it always was but now it definitely is. It has history and the two schools are very intertwined.
Fun Facts
Football History
-114 meetings total
-Vaught vs Dietzel was one of the best matchups every year for a time. Between 1955-1962 they accounted for 5 out of 8 SEC titles
-Cannon’s Halloween run
-LSU kept Ole Miss from going undefeated in both 1959 and 1960
-2003 both won the West but LSU won the game then the Natty
-Coach O and Kiffin were both their HC
Basketball
-Johnny Neumans career high game came against LSU
Baseball
-Ole Miss greatest coach was a natty player at LSU
This rivalry is across sports, has history, and has hate. Also MS and LA are basically the same state. This is a foundational of the conference rivalry I think

RRS in the Cotton Bowl with the Texas State Fair.
The one I'm looking forward to the most is LSU @ Ole Miss for obvious reasons.

OU/Texas for sure
But for traditional SEC rivalries I'd say either Bama/Tenn or UGA/Aub

LSU vs A&M is not a rivalry.

I think most Piggie and Mizzou fans would agree it’d be more of a rivalry if the league would have just let it grow organically a little bit more.
Instead, the SEC sold the naming rights to the highest bidder and we ended up with the “Battle Line Rivalry presented by Shelter Insurance at shelter insurance.com bowl”

1. Iron Bowl
2. Egg Bowl
My historic favorite was LSU - Tulane, but that has all but disappeared.

Nice try after last year sport. Can’t run and hide now that we’re in the same conference.

The cocktail party maybe the funnest to go to..but on the field either
The Iron Bowl or The Red River Shootout

Not sure any side would call it a rivalry. For non LSU, I would say The Iron Bowl

The Egg Bowl.

Red River Shootout probably but that's an old, old one for me; that's pre-SEC.
You didn't name it, but I always carved out time to watch it; Bama/LSU.

The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party gave you the pageantry of college football, but that game hasn't been close in 15 years.
The last two have been uncomfortably close. I can see Georgia winning in Atlanta this year, then Florida reeling off a few wins.
The best rivalry that doesn't involve Georgia is Auburn/Alabama.

-Iron Bowl
-Red River Shootout (still weird thinking of it as an SEC matchup, but it is)
-Egg Bowl
Bias to TSIO as well but that is my dislike for UTk athletics typing. The above 3 seem to be the most fierce and throw out the records type of rivalries more often than not

Arkansas/Missouri Simply for the fact that neither fanbase thinks it's a rivalry game.
This is the biggest game of the year for Mizzou and their fans. Don’t get it twisted

how did we get 3 pages without mentioning LSU vs. Mizzou?!?

RRSO, Red River Shoot Out, the biggest rivalry game in CFB and the main reason Slive wanted Oklahoma and Texas in the SEC, so that the SEC could claim the biggest rivalry game, must have been left off the list because the OP was feeling a little insecure….
