Non Rivalry Rivalries

First off I would like to say Thanks to the Administrators of this Board for allowing me to visit and post. I am an Ole Miss Fan, but dont boo me off just yet. I will always show respect to the board.
The purpose for this visit is I run a blog about the SEC as a whole at https://secsisgood.blogspot.com/ and I have an idea for a future article about rivalries.
I really would like to know which team is your most heated rivalry. Actually I would like to know your top two because the actual subject of my article is the rivalries that the rest of the nation doesnt know about. For example, the whole world knows about the Iron Bowl, so I asked the Alabama fans on their board to leave out Auburn and let me know what they thought their second most heated rivalry is. With LSU not having a true in-state equal I really dont know what your #1 rival is much less the second one, for this I apologize, since I do consider myself an SEC fan. Anyway, I dont get a vote but I know what I would think it would be. I know how Ole Miss Fans think about LSU, if that feeling is mutual then I would have to go with Ole Miss in your top two

Many of us older Tiger fans consider Ole Miss the #1 rivalry - some great games in the 50s, 60s and on into the 70s.

In terms of just football...
I was too young to remember much about the LSU/Ole Miss rivalry of the '70s and before, so I don't even consider them a rival. Arkansas seems like a contrived rivalry--I mean who really cares about the "Boot?"
I think in order for a school to be a rival, there has to be a competition of sorts for something. To that end, I would put Auburn as our biggest rival in this decade, because we're competing for the SEC west most years.
Alabama would be #2 on my list. I actually get a gleeful smirk on my face when they lose! (Yes, it's been a bad year for me!) I HATE, HATE, HATE them!!! This is not just because of the whole Saban drama or because they seem to be on the rise right now. BAMA fans are obnoxious with their stupid "Roll Tide" cheer. They drove me nuts one New Year's Eve when they went to the Sugar Bowl (1990?). They started that damned cheer at one end of Bourbon street and it carried all the way to the other end and then back again. And again. And again. I also remember going out after an LSU/BAMA football game in the mid-90's (yes, we lost), and Murphy's was packed full of BAMA fans. As an LSU fan, I was in the minority that night. I never thought I'd have to defend my team at one of our campus bars! My friends were all LSU students, but they knew a lot of the BAMA fans from high school. Why there were so many graduates from LA high schools attending Alabama is beyond me.

A$M/LSU used to be a great Rivalry. Had that series continued, I think that would be LSU's biggest rivalry game each year...SEC games included.

I think people are putting to much stock in and remembering just the past 15 years when claiming the Auburns, Alabamas, and UFs as our biggest rivalries and ignoring the 100 years prior to that. You can't just simply ignore the epic rivalries with Ole Miss in the 50's and 60's and the hatred going into the 70s. Also, Auburn/LSU has been rated the #1 rivalry of the past 10 years in terms of close games and intensity, and don't forget the name games. LSU/Alabama had the home field dis-advantage the past 20 years. LSU/UF rivalry has 3 eras.....Pre Spurrier, Spurrier, and Post Spurrier....LSU leads both Pre and Post, but UF dominated durring Spurrier while UF's best football in their history was combined with LSU's worst to make it onesided in favor of UF during this era.

For me, without a doubt, its Ole Miss. Would like to see the Rebels make a push to regain national prominence and reawaken this great rivalry.

Tulane, hands down

Ole Miss was because we could beat them every now and then. Great players on both sides of the ball back in the day. Could never beat Alabama during the Bear era. So Ole Miss was a good rivalry and not far from BR.
