Is there a team with as many rivals as LSU?

We have a ton of rivals. I know not all LSU fans consider some of these schools as rivals, but others do. A lot depends on age and where you grew up. But damn, we have a bunch...

-Alabama
-Auburn
-Ole Miss
-Florida
-Arkansas
-Tulane

Actually, we don't have a good rivalry at all.

We have a lot of recent ones, but nothing like FSU/UF or South Carolina/Clemson.

Does LSU even have a true rivalry?

Other than Tulane, none of the schools you listed would consider us their biggest rivalry. Which tells me we have many teams that know the game is huge, not a big rivalry in the truest sense of the word.

LSU doesn't really have a good rival. I think it used to be Tulane, but that's gone nowhere. I would say, maybe, the Arkansas series has the start of a new rivalry. They really don't have a rival either and we can't seem to beat them.

I disagree. Ole Miss definitely considers us their biggest rival. The Egg Bowl takes a backseat to LSU. Also, I am aware of the hatred Arkansas has for Texas, but considering they don't play them that often....I feel like we are their number 1 rival as of now.

The correct answer is no. LSU and Tulane just be a good rivalry up until Tulane decided that sports were not to be focused on. Their programs went down(Baseball is still good at times) and they really can not compete against LSU. The only SEC school that would even think of considering us a rival is Arkansas. The battle for the Golden Boot is as close to a rivalry as we have.

Ole Miss has Miss St
UF has FSU
Bama has AU
UGA has GT
South Carolina has Clemson
No body cares about Vanderbilt
Kentucky and Tennessee used to be a good one
Arkansas has no one that I am aware of

I thought everyone finally agreed LSU's biggest rival was the Germans?

On the flip side, I could argue that we have no real rivals.

LSU has one rival and that is Ole Miss. There are more important games every year but that should not be confused with rivalry.

Agreed this is a bitter rivalry.

Lots of s**t talking between fans at tailgates, fist fights erupting in the stands at this game, etc.
