Which other schools have no definitive primary rival, other than LSU?

LSU has some heated rivalries but Tiger fans are often split if you ask the primary rival. And no one in the SEC would say LSU is their definitive primary.
Tulane would be the answer decades ago but no more.
Maybe ND is the closest other example? But USC is a pretty common answer. Penn St.? They don’t seem to play Pitt much anymore.
Hawaii is excluded, for obvious reasons.

Trying to make LSU vs ATM the rivalry was pretty dumb. I'd still have LSU vs Arkansas as the rivalry even though it's not nearly as interesting as LSU vs Bama. Arkansas being a turd most of the time doesn't help but it's still some bragging rights.

Yeah, we are all super jealous of banging rivalries like Vandy/Tennessee. We had a similar tradition with Tulane but we ended it because they sucked and it wasn’t competitive.
Playing Bama to the West every year is nothing compared to an annual in state rivalry.
UL Cajun, LaTech, and Tulane keep rotating for 2nd strongest team in the state. I wish one would take the reins and hold it.

How does (or did) Texas look at A&M in terms of a rival? I know A&M is still obsessed with the Longhorns. But does Texas just look at Oklahoma as their rival?

Texas fans hate Oklahoma most. It's pretty unanimous.

Air Force is an "odd team out"
Boston College
West Virginia
Rutgers (they might claim Penn State)
Some Florida schools.

Maybe UGA? Their fans seem to be split between GT, Florida, and Auburn. They're kind of in the same boat as LSU in that their in-state rival left the SEC a long time ago and no longer the program they once were, although UGA and GT still play every year and at least GT is still in a major conference. I saw some UGA fans saying that there have been some rumblings about ending the annual series with them but I'm not sure how credible those rumors are.

Curious why? We've only played them 12 times since 1971.

We are their rival always have been even though we sucked for decades

He wasn’t talking about that… he was using them as an example.

Do you even backyard brawl bro. They despise Pitt. Not sure if they play every year though.

Now and since the start of the Big12 maybe but UT-A&M was a big game for both back in the 80s -90s

We ended it with Tulane for financial reasons. When it was home and home Tulane could never get enough people in the dome. If the dome had 60,000 plus each time in New Orleans the finances would work. Tulane could not pay us enough to go to New Orleans.
