For a school that has a good a program as we have historically had, we really don't have a true rival. Which team(s) do all of ya'll dislike the most?

1) Florida
2) Alabama
3) Ole Miss

Alabama.

But most rivals are in-state or bordering state rivalries. Louisiana isn't full of powerhouse football programs. Texas (and Ar-Kansas) had their own conference for years. The Mississippi schools formed their own rivalry. Tulane used to be a big deal.

Historically, this should be flip-flopped.

Bama, FLA, AU, Ole Miss, Miss St., Ark, Tenn, UGA. In no particular order, just don't like any of them.

I say Florida...

Bama and ole miss have bigger in-state SEC rivals...

Funny thing is Arkansas fans think (we) LSU is their rival, while we could care less about the HOGS

I'm aware that this is historically the case, but Aside from the past two years and 50 years ago, it hasnt even been close

our rival went the way of the dodo bird

it was Tulane. Tulane was in the SEC, in state and in a bigger city. WHy they left the SEC is a mystery, but what an epic failure of a decision.

I think for a rival to be a rival the other team wants and can beat you as much as you want to beat them. We don't have that anymore with Ole Miss or Tulane. They both suck as football programs. Bama and Auburn and Tennessee and Florida are rivals. Granted Tenn is bad right now.

I would say ...

1 Ole Miss
2 Bama
3 Auburn

You cant put a team that isnt even in your division as one of our top rivals...even though we play Florida every year.

Im sure Florida doesnt have us in their top 3 either. Im sure they have...in some order...Fl St, Miami, Georgia, and Tennessee...

We would be 5th on their list...which would make it silly to have them high on our list...not to mention pathetic.

Doesn't Ole Miss have a two-game winning streak against LSU?

it has changed for me many times over the years.

I'd have to say it is whatever SEC team that most threatens LSU's success, especially if it is the same one for a couple years in a row.
