General consensus amongst the league is that LSU does not have a "true rivalry game" that they can continue if the SEC decides to change the scheduling model in the future.

Personally, I've always thought of Florida as LSU's biggest rival, even going through the 90s. Florida fans I know would argue that this game gets them just as amped as the Florida-Georgia game.

LSU's biggest rival is Ole Miss. We have just forgotten that because for the past 20 years we are like 15-5 against them. Historically, LSU has a good edge, but they are the top rival.

I’m not sure you know what question you’re actually asking.

I am so tired of hearing about LSU not having a rival. Who gives a schitt? I hate every team LSU plays and almost every one of them hates LSU. So who cares.

Florida has been the most consistent in my life time. I don’t care when we beat ole miss. It matters when we beat Florida

They won't get rid of LSU-Alabama until Saban is gone.

The argument against LSU's "rival" is always that LSU is not their biggest rival. (Bama has Auburn, Ole Miss has Miss St., etc.)

LSU’s original rivals were Tulane and Ole Miss. Florida has replaced Tulane. LSU and Florida go neck and neck every year and one of the best games every season for both teams. Also, a combined 6 national titles since 1996. You can make the argument for A&M. It’s really getting electric now that they are in the SEC and competing well.

LSU will be playing A&M every year no matter what. The schools are rivals whether anybody denies it or not.
LSU/A&M
Texas/OU
Arkansas/Mizzou
Ole Miss/Miss St.
UGA/Florida
Alabama/Auburn

These will be locks. Don’t know how they’ll do Tennessee/Vandy/Kentucky/South Carolina

They were huge rivals late 80’s early 90’s. The Harvey Williams recruitment was classic.

What? They’ve won 10 games one time since they joined the conference and that was a decade ago. They’re an 8-4 program that pretends to be elite.

Yes of course. Exactly my point, we rarely lose. That’s not a #1 rivalry

No rival. Ole Miss used to be but now take you pick. Auburn-Alabama are biggest rivals. Florida-Georgia are biggest rivals. Ole Miss-Miss State are biggest rivals. That leaves Texas A&M, Arkansas etc and don’t consider them rivals. LSU has big games against Florida, Alabama, Auburn but LSU is not their rival game.
