even in football, arkansas has a better record than 5 other teams since joining the SEC.
I don't know why some feel the need to keep starting threads about how this isn't a rivalry. that's cool, we don't think it is either.
but more often than not, usually just because it's the last game of the season, it'll have some high level of importance to how the season goes for either team and it's okay to get hyped for it.

ANd if USCe wins vs Aubie, LSU can still go to the Orange.
very unlikely we must win this to go to a BCS bowl cause arkansas will go in over us. if they even make a BCS bowl with 2 losses and 2 sec teams in it

btw LSU does have rivals bama auburn and Florida in that order.
No you dont. A true "rival" or "rivalry" is when each team recognize each other as their most hated opponent (among other things). You play those teams each year and they are usually important games ,but those arent your rivals.
Bama's rival is Auburn (not LSU)
Auburn's rival is Bama (not LSU)
Florida's rival is FSU (not LSU)
Ole Miss's rival is Miss St (not LSU)
Like Arkansas, you have no rival. By your rationale Ark's rivals are Bama, Auburn, LSU, Ole Miss because we dont like them. It isnt a rivalry unless the other team recognizes it too.

Arkansas just doesn't really have a rival. LSU seems to be in the same boat.
LSU has several rivalries which are just as intense as most singular rivalries. In the glory days of Ole Miss(yes they had them) there was no more intense rivalry than LSU and the Rebs. About the time that one lost it's intensity due to Mississippi's decline, the rivalry with Alabama began to heat up. Some had said it was losing to his protege Charlie Mac two years in a row ('69 and '70) that drove Mac to switch to the vaunted 'Tide wishbone attack. 'Bama dominated the series for a decade but since the '82 game(Bear said the Tiger domination that day made him feel his age)the series has been tit for tat with the Saban issue really ramping up the heat. Auburn and Florida have become pretty intense secondary rivalries with LSU. Arkansas' more recent entry into the SEC and getting paired with LSU as a season-ending duo has proven to be one of the closest matchups of the last decade. Not an intense rivalry game but dern sure a game that college football fans typically look forward to watching. And that, does mean a lot.

I don't know. Maybe being in the SWC for so many years hurts us. We owe the Razorback name to LSU and a game against them that goes back to the very early 1900s. I think it was a rivalry in the early days which became diluted when we went to the SWC and has a hard time coming back because we have not won a National Championship in football since the 1960s even if you consider that a championship. It could be a rivalry but we have not been very competitive in it.
