re: Is Ole Miss Lsu true rival?

If a rival is based on most hated status, LSU has the privilege of hating half the conference at different levels depending on a sliding scale of factors. You have to beat us every now and then. The more you do this, the more we hate you. So Alabama is at the top of our hatemometer for now. Followed by probably TAM. After that it's a cornucopia of hate. Hate for everybody. Rival for a day.

This is pretty accurate, actually. We don’t have a true instate rival. Bama has Auburn. Ole Miss has MSU. UGA has Tech, sorta but certainly rivals with UF. UF and Tenn and FSU are rivals and so on and so forth. We’re kind if rivals with everybody we play. Hell, we sort of manufactured a rivalry with USC and we haven’t played them since the 1970s.
