Short answer is no.
Long answer is hell no but I'll explain it.
LSU's biggest and most natural rival left the SEC when Tulane jumped ship. Since then they've just sort of been there.
Do they have rivalries with schools like Ole Miss, Bama, Arkansas and A&M? Sure. But none of them is a top rival year in and year out. It changes each season based on who LSU would like to wallop the most.
Ole Miss will always have Miss. State as their top rival. Bama and Auburn, or, Bama and Tennessee. Georgia's big rivalry, while they have some great secondary ones, is G. Tech. It will probably be at least another generation or two before A&M and Arkansas don't regard that school in Austin as their top rival.
LSU is sort of left out of all that at the moment. Tulane has fallen off the map and that cost them the big rivalry game. They seem to be doing pretty well without one though.

Yeah on one day during the entire year and that's when we play Ole Miss. That's the only time you'll see that stuff

OK. I thought you were talking about the last three decades. And you accuse us of living in the past....

Their top rival is the game they made towels for and carried their coach off the field.

Almost perfect answer. Well done.
I'd make a slight adjustment.
LSU chooses to stay out of it.

Their drunk students do rush the field when they knock us out of the top 5. I was there bro, the stands didn't rush the field just some kids having fun.
When do anyone but students rush the field?

The last period where LSU had a rival similar to Auburn-Alabama or Texas-Texas A&M was between the mid 50s to mid 70s. And it was Ole Miss.
Texas A&M was a rival in the 60s and late 80s and 90s.
Auburn was a rival in the 2000s.
Tulane was a big rival in the 40s and 50s.
LSU doesn't really have a rival today on the same level as the Iron Bowl or USC-UCLA or tOSU-Michigan.
We do have several pseudo rivals: A&M, Arky, Ole Miss, Florida and Alabama.
