Why is Alabama vs LSU on the list? If you put two heavyweights on this list that have met even for the NC than where's Alabama vs Georgia? The dawgs have lost "The Black Out" "The Hurricane" 2-SECCG, and the national championship.

That's potentially 3 national championships, 2 SECC down the toilet for Georgia. How much damage does Kryptonite do?

Sadly, this is true.

Yeah and in those spans pretty sure Vandy has been fairly decent at times and had some upsets yet we don’t lose no matter how shite we are. Definitely agree on SC being their kryptonite.

Alabama is not in any stretch worse or compatible with LSU. Alabama leads the last 10 years 8-2 and leads the series 53–26–5

When Kentucky has beaten USC, they've been the better team, outside of 2010.

aTm, on the other hand... Carolinians will likely never live long enough to see a victory in that one.

And both of those could have been much worse.

Ole Miss either won or played you close in 4 of the last 10. That’s a pretty high rate considering they are Ole Miss and you’re Alabama.


They had a 3 year stretch where they gave us issues. The last 3 years we've beaten them by an average score of like 55-10, and the games were literally 52-0/3 in the 3rd qtr.

The answer, as others have noted, is Auburn in Jordan Hare.

LSU has been head and shoulders above aTm as a team, program, recruiting classes, everything. We are not their kryptonite, we are their daddy

But that’s not a valid answer

I’m just looking for the team, no conditions applied

The basic premise of the thread is which team plays you harder/beats you more than they should.

Alabama has lost to Auburn 4x in the last 10 years. Each of those 4 times Auburn has been a top 10 team. One top ten beating another top 10 team isn’t really strange or inexplicable.

LSU losing 9 of the last 11 to Alabama when they are both often top 10 teams is an example of kryptonite. Going 6-4 against two teams

Ole Miss, on the other hand was probably 13th in the SEC this decade. They’ve won twice and played Bama close twice.

Bama's only kryptonite is as Tuscaloosa stated. Maybe a case could be made for Clemson but like Ole Miss that is only remotely recent. Even then, Ole Miss is definitely not kryptonite for Bama. And to make a good statement about this, they really haven't played Clemson enough.

LSU's kryptonite? since 2000, probably just Bama. That's about it. We don't lose to Arkansas, Auburn or Florida unless we're having a shitty year.

The 2 years they beat us they went to NY6 Bowl Games (Peach, Sugar). They were good those 2 years. The years they were bad, outside of 2016 when they weren't bad early in the year when we played, we beat the daylights out of them.

Auburn's beaten us at Jordan Hare with what most would consider inferior teams the last 2 trips. They've played us much closer than they should have in 2015. They beat us with a somewhat equal team in 2013. They almost beat us with a much inferior team in 2009. The only trip we've had to Auburn since 2008 where it was a comfortable game was 2011, and even that game was 27-14 at the end of the 3rd.

Every trip to Auburn they play us better than they conceivably should given the results of the previous 11 games for both teams. Every single time. I'd wager that Auburn has beaten the vegas line on every Alabama/Auburn game inside Jordan Hare over the last 12 years.

I probably should’ve clarified. To be someone’s kryptonite:

- If a team is much worse than you but has pulled out a few wins recently they qualify as your kryptonite.

- If a team is worse than you but often seems to beat you or play you close, they are your kryptonite

- If a team is generally comparable to you but they win a large portion of the games, they are your kryptonite

- If a team is a little bit worse than your team, but loses just about every game, they are your kryptonite. (LSU vs Bama)

Basically what I’m looking for is a team that the results often go against you more than they should.

Tennessee is 5-5 vs Vanderbilt this decade. That’s much worse than it should be. They are 100% their kryptonite

LSU is 2-9 vs Alabama this decade. That’s much worse than it should be. They are 100% their kryptonite.

Vandy is 0-10 vs South Carolina this decade. Much worse than it should be. They’ve beaten every other East team multiple times in that span.

See what I mean?
