Rivalries are what make college football so fun, but Conference realignment means that some will be lost and others will be restored. I would like to see the board rank the following rivalry games based on which they most want to see continue and which they can live without. The original order is not my personal rankings, just me listing them off the top of my head:
Texas A&M vs Texas
Texas vs Oklahoma
Texas vs Arkansas
Texas A&M vs Arkansas
Texas A&M vs LSU
Arkansas vs LSU
Arkansas vs Mizzou
LSU vs Ole Miss
LSU vs Auburn
LSU vs Alabama
LSU vs Florida
Ole Miss vs Vanderbilt
Ole Miss vs Miss St
Ole Miss vs Alabama
Ole Miss vs Arkansas
Miss St vs Auburn
Miss St vs Alabama
Miss St vs Kentucky
Alabama vs Auburn
Auburn vs Georgia
Alabama vs Tennessee
Tennessee vs Florida
Georgia vs Florida
Georgia vs Tennessee
Tennessee vs Vandy
Tennessee vs Kentucky
Texas A&M vs Texas
Texas vs Oklahoma
Texas vs Arkansas
Texas A&M vs Arkansas
Texas A&M vs LSU
Arkansas vs LSU
Arkansas vs Mizzou
LSU vs Ole Miss
LSU vs Auburn
LSU vs Alabama
LSU vs Florida
Ole Miss vs Vanderbilt
Ole Miss vs Miss St
Ole Miss vs Alabama
Ole Miss vs Arkansas
Miss St vs Auburn
Miss St vs Alabama
Miss St vs Kentucky
Alabama vs Auburn
Auburn vs Georgia
Alabama vs Tennessee
Tennessee vs Florida
Georgia vs Florida
Georgia vs Tennessee
Tennessee vs Vandy

#1 Alabama vs Auburn....seems like it's always a good game
Even though Texas owns A&M I'd like to see that game start up again. But they both need to man up and stop being pussies about it. Schedule the damn game each year

Texas A&M vs LSU
Put this one at dead last. They've beaten us twice since joining the SEC.

I just hope the loser has no fun, the winning team's fans are too obnoxious online afterward, and the teams continue to hate each other

Don’t know how to answer the entire list but Georgia and Auburn are in the first 2 out of 3.

I'm going to add one that is often overlooked. That is USC vs Mizzou. It's always a competitive game and something crazy always happens.

Would like to keep our games against Florida and Tennessee. As much losing as we've had against them in the past, it would be nice to continue to play them now that it seems our program is at a different level than we used to be

Some of those games just produce naturally wacky games every year. Auburn/LSU, Miss St/Auburn, and Ole Miss/Arkansas have produced some of the weirdest and wackiest games over the last few years. I don't want to keep Auburn on the schedule because it's a heated game where I hate them or anything. I like it because that game is usually really entertaining.

Cocktail Party is the best, nothing like it imo, I love it.
Especially when the mutts are Gator bait, as god intended them to be.

Arrange 26 games in order of my preference, when my team is only in a few of them?
I get your purpose and applaud the effort, but with all I have to do today, may I respectfully say…

The idea is to rank the games that you most enjoy watching. Not all SEC games that don't involve your team are created equally.

There's a special place in my heart for this game.

That's too many to list... but trying to take out any preconceived biases I might have and just rank them in terms of intensity and importance to the SEC/new SEC... accounting for history and tradition as well:
1. Alabama vs. Auburn
2. Georgia vs. Florida
3. Georgia vs. Auburn
4. Texas vs. Oklahoma
5. Alabama vs. Tennessee
6. Alabama vs. LSU
7. Texas vs. Texas A&M
8. Ole Miss vs. Miss St.
9. Auburn vs. LSU
10. Florida vs. LSU
11. Texas A&M vs. LSU
12. Texas A&M vs. Arkansas
IMO, those are the only "rivalries" of the SEC. There may be some other "big games" or "annual games" etc., but they aren't really rivalries.
I think Texas-Arkansas and Texas-LSU could soon be "rivalries" but its been too long since those were played on a regular basis, so it will take time to build those back up to rivalry status, IMO.
1. Alabama vs. Auburn
2. Georgia vs. Florida

4. Texas vs. Oklahoma
5. Alabama vs. Tennessee
6. Alabama vs. LSU
7. Texas vs. Texas A&M
8. Ole Miss vs. Miss St.

10. Florida vs. LSU

1. Alabama Auburn
2. Texas OU
3. Georgia Florida
4. Auburn Georgia
5. Bama Tennessee
6. Texas Texas A&M
7. Ole Miss MSU
Not going to rank them all. Next tier is probably the LSU/Bama, LSU/Auburn, UF/UT type games

Same category as Miss St vs Auburn and Ole Miss vs Arkansas. Those games just get wacky. It's like Les Miles writes the script every year.
