If you could renew an SEC OOC annual rivalry which would it be?

For me it's UGA vs Clemson, close proximity and always a ton of talent on both sides.
Honorable mentions to
2) Miami-Florida (was actually an older and more intense rivalry than Miami-FSU)
3) Arkansas-Texas (renewing LSS talk has played out and Arkansas needs a rival)
4) LSU-Tulane (one of the oldest traditions, goes back to the teams' colors going together for Mardi Gras)
5) Kansas-Mizzou don't know much about this one, but they seem to genuinely hate each other. Their 2007 game deciding the new #1 was that season in a microcosm

I would say ya and UNC and NC State but we’ve played them so much over the last 10 years it’s gotten kind of stale playing in Charlotte.
The NC State one is pretty close though. Checking now..we lead the series 26-24-3.
And A&M-Texas has to be one. It would’ve been cool to have attendees a rivalry game that I was a relatively neutral observer in when I was in College Station.

It would not be a “renewal” but I would love the chance to beat Texas annually.

aTm Texas is the only SEC rivalry anyone misses.

LSU and Tulane should be renewed and played home-and-home, or possibly an ongoing two-for-one arrangement. Tiger fans in general would like an occasional visit to New Orleans and the administration should dictate the terms so Tulane doesn't try to take advantage of them.
For example, treat it like a neutral site game (e.g., 50/50 tickets allocated to each school), or set a high payout to LSU, along with no requirement that you have to buy Tulane season tickets to get LSU game tickets, and other mischief like Tulane has done in the past.
Edit: I thought it would be understood, but to make clear, any game in New Orleans in my scenario above should be held at the Superdome.

Border war (MU-kU) returns in 2025 for football (and this year for basketball).
Not a traditional rivalry but I'd like to see Tennessee-Nebraska play a home & home. They played in a few BCS bowls in the late 90s, and both fanbases still think their programs are as good as they were back then. Would be a great throwback matchup to when their programs were relevant

I’d renew Missouri Nebraska before Kansas. My non Missouri rivalry would be Arkansas vs Texas.

Tennessee and Georgia Tech

I'd like to see us play UNC more. Would be better with a home and away set-up though. Charlotte is getting old.

Bama vs Penn St.
They played for 10 straight years in the 80s.

I'd like to see UGA vs Clemson more than twice a decade.
I don't know if it has to be an annual one.
I like the idea of playing Notre Dame, Oregon, and Oklahoma as well.

Auburn v. Georgia Tech for me.
Nice post.

Bama and Penn State were great with Joe Paterno on the sidelines.
Alabama v. Penn State was the magical blend of tradition and smash-mouth football on one single field on a glorious Saturday against some pretty good teams.

LSU would never play at Yulman too small

That was a "no-win" scenario.
Win - "Aggy cheated" or "We are too refined to care, let me change into my Dallas Cowboys tshirt"
Lose - "Poor Aggy"

What’s the point if Tulane can’t price gouge? They made up a perfect 30,000 number to set the Yulman record on opening night.

set a high payout to LSU
Tulane won’t do it.
LSU is better off playing Florida State in New Orleans.
