Alabama - Auburn/Tenn/MSU is Bama's longest-running rivalry. They are the closest schools by geography in the entire league
Auburn - Alabama/UGA/UF used to be a huge rival but they don't play every year anymore
Ole Miss - LSU/Miss Lite
Miss Lite - Ole Miss/Alabama
Arkansas - LSU/TAMU
LSU - Arkansas/Tamu/Ole Miss
TAMU - Arkansas/LSU

Tenn - Vandy/Alabama/Florida
Vandy - Tenn
SCAR - ? Us now I guess. Maybe Florida too because of the Visor, but whatever. (I still think their true rival is NCst and UNC)
Florida - Tenn and (FSU)UGA
Kentucky - Tenn
UGA - Florida and (Georgia Tech)Auburn
Mizzou - ? but really (Kansas) A good fit IMO would be SCAR though. With the exception of basketball, the two programs are on par with eachother.

Fixed your list a bit. You could also argue that LSU has decent rivalries with Auburn and Bama, but both have amped up in intensity in recent years. Neither rivalry is historically significant.

I'm embarrassed that I failed to list the UGA/Florida rivalry. I knew of that one and overlooked it.

Apparently according to you, I wasnt that far off base on the others though. In regards to the Ole Miss list, I've had people undereducated on the subject contest me that LSU is not a rival for them. I've spoke with and got to know several Ole Miss alums who swear on their life they hate the Tigers far more than anyone from Starksville. Seems silly considering how one sided it has been, but thats their superbowl.

Anyhow, thanks for the insight. Look forward to seeing newly formed rivals maybe. Maybe even a little cross division hate...who knows?

Mizzou rival will naturally be Arkansas. They should name the game the Walmart Bowl due to both schools connections to the Waslton family.
