In any order

Alabama
Auburn
Florida


Nobody else close. The above schools are legit programs and losing to them sucks but is nothing to be ashamed of.

It's not even close. The Crimson Tide since Bear Bryant.

Alabama does not consider LSU a big rival at all. Their biggest rival is Auburn and Tennessee ranks a close second. When I lived in Alabama, quite a few of their older fans would tell me stories about the heated and hated rival that Georgia Tech was. The older fans told me that Tech was hated a lot more than they hate Auburn today. I researched the series between the two schools and it is a pretty big history. Tech fans will tell you that the Bear was the reason why they left the SEC. The Bear didn't keep his word about some vote that the league took. Tech is also mentioned in Bama's fight song.

Mississippi, even though they suck at everything except for baseball they are the traditional rival and they hate us more than anyone else does based on my experience living in MS and what I see from them online.

I believe Ole' Miss is traditionally a big rival, or Arkansas simply for the trophy. Bama is a big rival for the simple fact Saban is the coach there. Once he is gone, idk if that rivalry keeps up.

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...



Chicken in my view is both historically correct (Tulane/Ole Miss) and correct with respect to the last 20 years in the Saban/Miles/Coach O era (Auburn/Bama/Florida).

Everyone in Oklahoma hates LSU. This was true before the Peach bowl massacre It’s definitely true now too. Like legit hates LSU. Wear LSU in Oklahoma and see the what looks and comments you get. You’d think we were conference rivals or something. But It doesn’t make them a rival. We’re LSU. A lot of people hate us.

I can’t speak to this, but

Is definitely true. I started watching in ‘85, and it’s Auburn, Florida, Bama, then a HUGE gap between those 3 and #4. Actually, I’m not sure there even is a #4, considering the gap. And it doesn’t matter if we are officially any of their “#1 rivals,” they get the frick up to play us every year.
