The one's I'm aware of are:
The Iron Bowl
The Deep South's Oldest Rivalry
The Third Saturday in October
The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party (UGA and UF's ADs can suck a pecker, its the WLOCP)
The Egg Bowl
The Magnolia Bowl (not sure if LSU and OM really like that name
)
The Battle for the Golden Boot (does anyone acutally call it this?)
The Battle Line Rivalry (Arkansas-Missouri)
The Southwest Classic (Another forced marketing one with Arky and A&M)
Rank them based on a combination of quality of the actual rivalry and quality of the nickname.

I forgot too
I know it's for the Mayors cup, aka the most generic and boring trophy ever.
Don't even understand having a trophy for this manufactured rivalry.

Magnolia Bowl too high

I like the name Magnolia Bowl, but I rarely even say it because it's so very new. In a rivalry that's steeped in tradition it takes a while for things like that to catch on.

I remember when NCAA Football was still around they tried to label Alabama-MSU as the 'Battle of Highway 82'

At least we've beaten them this decade, VOL.
No one in this conference has the right to call out any other team for not beating Alabama. No one is beating Alabama right now. Believe it or not, Ole Miss has the best claim to it. Certainly, once-mighty Tennessee remains asleep at the wheel, as I'm sure you're aware.

Overall Quality (Equal weight between historical and recent impact/interest), Name, Overall
The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party 1 1 1
The Iron Bowl 3 2 2
The Deep South's Oldest Rivalry 2 3 3
The Battle for the Golden Boot 4 5 4
The Egg Bowl 6 9 5
The Third Saturday in October 5 8 6
The Magnolia Bowl 7 4 7
The Southwest Classic 8 9 8
The Battle Line Rivalry 9 7 9
There are at least 3 other rivalries (LSU-UF, UGA-USC, and Kentucky-Vandy) that are better than 7, 8, and 9 of this list. The last 3 should be dropped and replaced with those. The Third Saturday in October is barely hanging on.

VOLS annual beating of Kentucky used to be known as the Battle for the Beer Barrel.

Have they changed the rivalry name where Bama has owned Tennessee for a decade?

Always enjoyed Clean Old Fashioned Hate with Tech. Used to be an SEC rivalry before they pussied out. Kind of adds to the animosity
Posted on 2/13/17 at 3:34 pm to chadr07
They are changing the name to the "Gumps Avoid Florida Bowl"
