The closest, most exciting game, every year.

Arkansas/LSU

UT/UA because 1. two winningest programs in the SEC

2. Bear Bryant thought UT was a bigger rival than AU

3. Fat Phil snitched on Bama and nearly gave them a death penalty. from the period of 1995-2004, Fat Phil was 9-1 against Bama. he shut down Bama both on and off the field.


UT/UF

winner of UT/UF game in the 90's went on to win the SEC and eventually played in the NC game or a major bowl. loser went to the Citrus bowl. I liked it when Kiffin tried to revive the UT/UF rivalry.

I like the Alabama vs LSU game, and love when local bands play the LSU remix of sweet home alabama https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOllRJO0ClA

Because he would never claim that solely to piss off Auburn.

Why Did Bear Bryant Think It's Important to Beat Tennessee?

UT/UA series is also longer as well. played 93 times compared to Iron Bowl's 75 times.

Do you know the reason it was played more times?

FL/FSU


Highly underrated, with the end of Bobby's tenure. Jimbo will get it going again.


Tallahassee is awesome. Really wish they'd join the conference.

FSU is not in the SEC. Thread title says rivalry in the SEC.

I put FL/FSU in my list because the title could be construed to allow it. It isn't an all SEC rivalry, but FL is in the SEC. Thus the rivalry exists on some level in the SEC. It's a stretch to say the least, but I went with it.

I'm not completely sure who he considered a bigger rival, but he certainly seemed to have less respect for Auburn.
