I mean, as a Georgia fan, I’m gonna bring up all our historic rivalries, but in terms of the games where I haven’t had a dog (no pun intended) in the fight, I’ve gotta go with Alabama-LSU.

Even in the years where the teams weren’t good, the physicality and downright disdain the two have for each other is enough to always make it a fun watch. Then factor in the fact that they’ve had a TON of games in the last 20 years where both went in as National title contenders.

Vandy vs Sewanee. Man those tailgating parties on the mountain were something else.

Texas versus Texas A&M is a bit one sided.

A&M won 10 out of 11 from 1984 to 1994. If not for that, it would be way worse. 77-37-5

LSU-Ole Miss is great although a bit one sided. Lately the Rebs have some game though.

Florida-UGA is always entertaining.
Bama vs Auburn
LSU-Auburn
Bama vs LSU
Bama vs UGA (recency bias)

Despite UGA's dominance in the AU/UGA rivalry since 2006, the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry is still an incredibly storied series. I'm looking forward to Georgia visiting Jordan-Hare in October.

Just some crazy twists and turns over the years, but it is still an incredible rivalry.

You need to brush up on your history. Since the modern era (early 70s after black athletes and scholarship limits came on board) the series is tied 19-19.

The 40 or so series lead is almost exclusively from the '40s through '74 when Texas had something like 35-3 record as the big rich public school hording 200+ scholly players vs a small all-male military school.

Texas also had a 14-1-2 record vs A&M in the first 17 games played in the 1890s thru 1910 or so.

So why dont we just throw those out while you're tossing victories? Seriously- trying to define a series by what happened 50, 60, 70 and 120 years ago? That's t-sip all the way.

Don't show your ignorance!

Yeah, this is my favorite Aggie mental gymnastics.

Parse the series any way you choose. You take away the 1984 to 1994 streak and UT still dominates. You had a nice little run there while Sherrill and Slocum were buying players and Texas was going through their late Akers/McWilliams/Mackovic run,

From 1995 to 2025 the series is 13-5. It's about to be 14-5 after this year, and I'm not sure exactly when A&M begins to compete. Maybe the next coach?

Absolutely. Creek Mitchell’s hit always comes to mind. I went to Little Rock to see them 1988 while in high school. They stopped us at the goal line and won. Has been a crazy series all my life.

A couple of years ago several series would get consideration but now it is firmly OU-saxet.

Mine is Gators vs LSU, always intense, unpredictable, talented rosters, crazy fans on both sides.
