Who's considered our actual rivals?

I know it's not the first time we've seen this discussion, but rivalry weekend got me thinking. I think Ole Miss has always been a permanent rival, and we had Tulane in the past. I happen to dislike every other team in the west, so it's a tough call.
Would we consider A&M a rivalry game now?

Rivalries are games that go back and forth so basically the whole SEC West and Florida aside from Alabama since we can't beat them and maybe Miss st because we have owned them in recent past.
EDIT:So since A&M hasn't beat us since joining id say no to them also

I wouldn’t consider A&M a rivalry game, although my grandmother only talked about a handful of teams and their fans poorly and A&M was at the top of that group. She went to games since the 50’s, so I tend to take her word on it.

Sure A&M is a rival. So are Bama, AU, Ark, UF, and probably a few others. It’s not a rule that you can only have 1 or 2.

Why does anyone care about this?
Our rival is whoever we play that day.
Bama is our Rival right now if we have one.

Big fat myth. Are Army and Navy not rivals? When’s the last time Mich beat OSU or UF beat FSU?

We don't really have a true rival. There isn't anyone that we rest our season on beating, except BAMA. Ohio St and MIchigan, UNC and DUKE, Miami and Fl St, USC and UCLA, Egg bowl, etc.. Nothing like that for LSU.

Tiger Rant posters are our biggest rivals. Win or lose find something to complain about. Team, coaches, play calling, fans standing, fans leaving early, parking, Mike not on the field etc etc.

Basically the only ones who aren’t are Bama (LSU is their biotch) and A&M (they LSU’s biotch). All others are basically LSU’s rivals.

Ole Miss

UForfeit
Abalama
Ol Piss
Auburn (not so much hate, it’s just always a great game)
Everyone else

We don’t have one. There’s no need to try to force a rivalry

I don’t think there is rival games. It’s hatred games. I hate any team in the sec playing the tigers

Our primary historic rivalry is with Tulane and we don't play them anymore. The other teams have other rivalries bigger than the one with us. Ole Miss - Miss. St. They hate each other. We saw that last night. Auburn and Ala. have each other. aTm has Texas although they don't play either. Fla. has the Fla. schools. No one cares about Ark. That was an attempt to manufacture a rivalry that never worked. Our natural rival is Tulane and I am old enough to remember when it was a real rivalry.

Ole Miss
aTm
Auburn
Tulane (but that one's been largely dead for years)
You can also make an argument for Florida and Arky due to the last few decades.
Bama isn't a rival. LSU didn't care about them until Saban went there.

Tulane. That’s it and we don’t play them after 100 years.

these are the only rivalries by definition the past 2 decades.
BAMA and A&M are not for 2 different reasons.
the rest of the East aren't really rivals either.
