Who is it? I was raised to hate Ole Miss but now I feel like our biggest rival is the better team from the state of Alabama.

It was Auburn until Bama reemerged with Saban. I'd have to say these last few years with the CLM vs Saban story line have been very memorable.

We'll always fluctuate our rivalries as we do not have the true in-state, every year type of team that competes on our level year in and year out.

Arkansas is the only year in and year out rivalry. They give us a good game almost every year. As far as other teams, as said already it changes from Auby to Bama depending on who is good and which fan base is more annoying at the time.

Since LSU has no true rival, the current rival is the team that poses the biggest threat to success.

I would go with Ar-Kansas just due to them being the last game of the season and the games most recently having meant so much.

I will say that I think that Texas A&M will prove to be the team/school we most love to hate VERY soon!!!

aTm was a huge rival at one time. Our coaching drought of the 90's effectively killed a lot of rivalries. Now, a lot of old rivals are experiencing their own drought.

I always want to beat Spurrier and Saban but do not consider the Gamecocks as rivals.

Arkansas is just like the annoying little brother that we are forced to play with. Trying to build The Boot into an important tradition is a comical PR campaign.

I also like beating Florida because I work with so many of those smug babies every day. They taught Bama fans how to make excuses.

I think "it" is actually the three "A" teams in the SEC West - AU, UA, and Arky. Of these three, at the moment the #1 rival would have to be UA. Once upon a time, Ole Miss was a chief and bitterly hated rival, but then emotions cooled and like Tulane, they ceased being really relevant as time went on.

Before this season, I would say :
1) Arky
2) Auburn/Bama
3) Ole Miss

Now no matter what happens in the NC it will be Bama....
