That's one thing that all SEC fans can agree on. We all hate Florida more than any other SEC team.

Actually, Tennessee hates Georgia and Florida about equally last time I checked.

Anyways, Georgia, Florida, and tennessee is the best 3 way rivalry in the SEC. Why? Because last time I checked it was the only 3 way rivalry in the SEC.

LOL! Yeah, these rivalries can be a lot of fun. For LSU, traditionally the SEC rival has been Ole Miss ("Go to Hell, Ole Miss") which really dates back to the 50s and 60s when both teams were very good and always ranked towards the top of the polls. The rivalry has kind of lost its luster in recent years because Ole Miss has mostly sucked (as did LSU between the Arnsparger years and the Nick Saban years).

For out-of-conference rivalries, it's been traditionally intrastate rival Tulane but LSU has dropped Tulane from its permanent schedule and now plays only once every few years. Which is fine with me. The LSU-Tulane game was always a no-win for LSU. If LSU won, so what, we're supposed to, but if we lost, oh hell. We never heard the end of it.

For me, personally, Auburn is my most hated SEC team, at least this year, because of Referee-gate at Auburn.
