Two of your Nat’s came because of cheating

One only occurred because instant replay review didn’t exist and if it did USC would have a national championship from 2005, everybody knows it

Aggie Architect will argue that winning actual championships doesn't matter.

It’s called mutual respect

Are you honestly stating that you believe Ole Miss is in any way LSUs big brother? That's delusional as hell.

Forget sports, Kansas and Missouri is definitely a rivalry based on history between the states, close proximity. No love lost especially among the older folks.

It's unequivocal who LSU's most hated rival is

I dislike Florida and Auburn WAY more than Bama. When LSU finally started winning, we had to go through the other two more than Bama to get to Atlanta. It created quite a hate for Florida and Auburn.

Very, very true.

I don’t know if this has already been said but these teams are not rivals.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Man, you have to stop digging yourself in this hole.

Nobody outside of C Stat puts Aggie in the same league as Texas in football. Texas, like OU, is a blue blood.

…Aggie is not a blue blood, nor even close.

The only rivalry for which the Civil War was the excuse both sides needed to cross the state border and murder civilians. MIZ…

World's largest cocktail party behind minnesota-wisconsin is nuts

I was confused on the MN/Wisky one too, but it is the most-played rivalry game in all of FBS at 134 games. They also have a cool trophy in "Paul Bunyan's axe". So, it has a lot of tradition going for it.

I still think it doesn't belong on front of some of the ones that it is though. Kinda like them putting OU/Neb or Mizzou/KU up there and those aren't even played anymore.

The Auburn v LSU game being left off the list completely is ridiculous. Could also probably put AU v UF/Tennessee up there too since they included several rivalries that don't play every year either. Hell, Pat Dye coined "Amen Corner" because Florida was usually the first of the last 3 games every year. Florida, UGA, then Bama.

Texas A&M vs LSU at 71 is absurdly low and it is crazy that Texas A&M vs Arky isn't even on the list.

This is an absolute outrage and unacceptable. Entire list is suspect because of this ranking anywhere outside of the top 10

That has been entirely due to shite seasons on our part that ruin yours or absolutely incredible endings that were a pure field rush out of emotions.

Average TV viewers is a terrible way to judge rivalries. Farmagedon is a way better rivalry than Ohio St. Maryland but you don’t see that in there. Nor do you see Kansas Missouri, Kentucky Louisville, or Pitt West VA.

Everyone I just mentioned is a better rivalry than any Ohio State rivalry listed after OSU vs UM

Certainly lacks history. It is the 4th most watched rivalry game on tv, so it does generate big interest.


It’s a time a lot champion, promoted by Fox, between two very good programs. Of course it draws big.

It’s not a rivalry in any sense or fashion.

Holy frick I just read your UF vs FSU take. Your opinions are bad and you should feel bad for having them.
