As an objective outsider before and now seeing the SEC up close I think most the country perceive these to be the top 3 and in this order:
1. Bama vs Auburn
2. LSU vs Bama
3. Miss St vs Ole Miss
Those were 3 games I'd always try to catch because of the hatred.
I think the Georgia vs Georgia Tech and Florida vs Florida State hatred is greater than their in conference rivalries so it takes away from their conference hatred.

Look, LSU fans will never have a constant rival.
I was born in 1987, and I have seen our fanbase hate 3 separate teams the most in my 30 years
In the 90s, our fanbase hated spurrier and florida the most
In the early 2000s, we hated Tubbs and Auburn the most
Since 2007, we have hated Saban and Bama the most
So, it sounds like you guys just hate Daddy no matter who he is
. And you guys have had a lot of daddies.

We ran off Spurrier. Tubbs was done in BR after the cigar deal. Have a lot of work to do on Saban though.

One of the under the radar rivalries is UK-State. I know it is second tier but the record is close-State leads 23-22 (24-21 on the field -bogus forfeit in 1976 but that is a story for another day).
A number of close games (last years withstanding) and it has developed into a fan favorite on both sides. Good road trip for each.

Shut the frick up. The Bama UT game hasn't been important or relevant in 15 years

Honestly, no one outside of Florida fans liked Spurrier in the 90's.

If you guys want to discount the TSIO because of recent lopsidedness, then you have to throw out the WLOCP, too.
You do know Georgia has won the last 4 of 7, right?
How close in the last 7 years is UT/Alabama?

Alabama's record against Auburn would be more lopsided than our record against Tennessee if the Iron Bowl hadn't been put on hiatus for 40 years.
Oh really? There are only 2 times Auburn hasn't owned the IB record: The Bear and Saban years. Other than that, Auburn has won more than lost.

A whole lot of your brethren on this board were openly pulling for Alabama to win that game.
Not really. We were just pulling for UGA to LOSE the game. Bama just happened to be the other team. And you obliged quite nicely.

Point is the WLOCP is more relevant and exciting that the Bama/Tenn game is right now. I mean, sure, things change. But do you really think TSIO is more exciting to watch than the WLOCP is right now? In football terms, 7 years is a good long time.
Last time Tennessee won the game their players were 7-11 years old! Not the last time Tennessee had won 4 of 7. The last time they won ONE game. It's a long and storied rivalry, but it is hardly worth watching for quite awhile now.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt, I will clarify by saying, when Florida was beating us regularly, I don't see how they could have considered it much of a rivalry. I see how they might have enjoyed beating us, but not a rivalry. I don't really look at GT as much of a rivalry for the same reason. Do I enjoy beating them? yes. But I don't sweat that game much.

The stinking vols are our greatest rival in the SEC.
LSU is 2nd.

At least from Bama's perspective.
AKA Auburn beats us too often so we have to pretend like we don't care as much about that game as against the teams we beat everytime.

It is different, the WLOCP is one of those games you have to go to to get it.
