2007 to present A1abama.


This is pretty accurate except I'd end the bama rivalry around 2014. After 2014, LSU hasn't seemed to have much of a rival...maybe Florida. We always seem to play them pretty close.

Florida has been a great rivalry over the years. Amazing that they are in the SEC East yet we play them EVERY year!
Their fans are pretty obnoxious as well


Living here in Tampa its always great to beat the Gators. For me, its Florida.

Florida based on we play them every year and as far back as i can remember neither team gets on long win / loss streaks. Seems to be a battle every year.

Alabama is who you would want the rival to be but as others said its Alabama / Auburn that is the rivalry

Texas A/M is who we are trying to be set up as the "rival game"

Our biggest rivals are Alabama, Auburn and Florida in some order...they are always the most critical games of the year for us...and the conference race is almost always still in doubt when we face them all.

Back in the day, it was Ole Miss and Tulane, but no more...

The rivalry is want to be Texas A & M as our last game. And we always generally want to beat Auburn regularly, Bama because of Saban, and Can’t stand to loose to Florida, so we have 4 great teams that want to also beat us badly every year, just because we are LSU.

Depends on your age. Old folks will say ole miss. Some would argue Tulane in the next era. When I was a kid it was Tex a&m. I went to lsu in late 90s and auburn is always my favorite game. Those after me would say Florida. And the youngsters will say Alabama. LSU is pretty unique to not have one rival but many.

Does LSU even have a "true" rival? I don't think they do.

It's changed just about every decade. Ole Miss, Tulane, Auburn, Texas A&M, Florida, Alabama. Only reason Miss State hasn't been a rival is because they are the most trash worthless team in the SEC next to Vanderbilt.
