The Biggest SEC rivalries

Hey there!

This writer’s also got a substack page: ‘The View From North America’, and we’re writing about the Top 30 College Football Rivalry names around.

There are some SEC names out there, but there’s some facts we never realized:

• Missouri and Oklahoma have played each other 92 times, from the Big Eight times to the Big 12 to now.
• LSU – Tulane used to be called “Battle For The Rag”, and was played 98 times before Tulane upped stakes and left for the SEC before academics was becoming less important than sports (Note: At most schools academics is less important than sports and partying).
• Georgia Tech – Auburn was played 92 times
• Georgia Tech’s decision to the leave the SEC was actually pretty recent, because they ****ed off in 1964 (disputes over squad sizes) and started a weird conference called the Metro-6.
• It isn’t just LSU where SEC fans are absolutely wasted on a Saturday.
• That SEC school pranks aren’t as good as those from other schools, unless you include railtrack-greasing and bonfire bombing.

Anyway have fun and enjoy.
