LSU vs A&M is a forced "Rivalry" and neither fan base cares about it much.
The anmount of posts from A&M fans about LSU and Vice versa seems to disprove your statement that neither fan base cares about the game. No we don't "like" playing each other but isn't that dislike what fuels a rivalry?

You all need to leave and go back to the big whatever. You're ruining everyone's scheduling.

my point was that bama/lsu wasn't..."BAMA/LSU"...until the 21st cnetury when both teams really rose to national prominance and had top 10 matchups every year.
MSU is by far a more historical opponent to bama than LSU is, and the pairings bare that out.

"Recently" like only since the Kennedy assassination?
It's the third most played series for Alabama.
Blame Bryant. When he went to Kentucky, suddenly Kentucky showed up as an annual LSU opponent. Then he went to A&M - and then A&M showed up on LSU's schedule. But it wasn't until Bryant went to coach at Alabama that the Tide became an annual matchup for LSU. Bryant knew there was money to be made playing in the giant Tiger Stadium.

Luv it or hate it?
We have never lost to Oklahoma, hard to call a rivalry

LSU/A&M makes some sense but not at the expense of LSU/FL or LSU/AL
Posted on 9/22/25 at 10:54 am to Mstate
Arkansas should have been Texas, A & M and Ole Miss.

57-27 all time record.
It’s been a great game the last 2 decades, but historically it’s not a rivalry. It’s pretty lopsided

The only reason to do 3 permanents is to preserve Bama-LSU. This is stupid
LSU / Bama is a Saban related rivalry and I think that game has lost some luster.
And Bama can't lose UT and Auburn...and it would've been pretty unbalanced to give them LSU on top of that.

So two of the best rivalries in the old SEC West are no more. . .
no alabama vs LSU
no Auburn vs LSU
That’s ridiculous.

no Auburn vs LSU

Yes...the DeBoar change made this much easier than it would have been 2 years ago.

No one should get Vandy AND Kentucky as permanent opponents.
This is the glaring thing to me about the whole thing. Tennessee got two historical doormats as their permanents. Vandy will come back down to Earth soon.

To those saying LSU should've had Florida instead of A&M, I think you're missing the geographical component to this and the fact we've played A&M almost as much as UF historically. I don't like A&M being our opponent, but it does make some sense when you look at the league and history holistically.
LSU opponents historically:
OPPONENT - TOTAL GAMES - FIRST MEETING
Alabama - 85 - 1895
Arkansas - 66 - 1901
Auburn - 55 - 1901
Florida - 67 - 1937
Georgia - 32 - 1928
Kentucky - 57 - 1949
Mississippi State - 114 - 1896
Missouri - 3 - 1978
Oklahoma - 3 - 1950
Ole Miss - 109 - 1894
South Carolina - 22 - 1930
Tennessee - 33 - 1925
Texas - 18 - 1896
Texas A&M - 59 - 1899
Vanderbilt - 32 - 1902

Miss State makes more sense for LSU than Texas A&M does, but I guess Bama needed an easy one.

Not that I don’t enjoy the SC games again every year but over Tennessee?

Auburn does not have a winning record with any of the three teams they are matched up against.

Just because you're ignorant of the series doesn't mean you have a valid point.
In the 10 games from 1964 to 1973, 5 games were played when both teams were ranked - 3 of those were top 10 matchups. Of those games 9 were played when at least one team was ranked. Each team was ranked for the game 7 times. Just because UGA sucked arse back then doesn't mean everybody did.
At the time Tiger Stadium was the biggest stadium in the SEC. Bama coming in ranked to play a ranked LSU team was BIG. It doesn't really matter that you're too young to remember it.
