re: Which game is more important to Bama? LSU or Auburn?

A point on the Alabama-Auburn rivalry I’m not sure LSU fans can relate. LSU does have a bitter in state rival that divides the state fan base. Sure,other Louisiana schools have their followers, but they are not your bitter rival.In Alabama, your allegiance for one or the other is instilled at a very young age. So through the years, there is the daily, 365 days a year rivalry between you and your classmates, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and family members. For Bama fans, this does not happen with LSU. LSU is a huge game every year, but just not as big as AU, and for many years not as big as Tennessee. For many, LSU is still #3, others now have you #2, but the vast majority still put AU #1. Saban and recruiting have put a different slant on the game, but nowhere near enough to replace AU. SEC West and CFP implications are always a factor in the LSU game as well.
