No. 5 – LSU Tigers and Alabama Crimson Tide

This one has become a more recently evolved rivalry, with the two teams battling things out for SEC Championships and National Championships in recent years.

You’ve got two of the most polarizing coaches on the football field in Nick Saban and Les Miles, and two basketball programs which have slipped, but still find ways to make each other miserable when they meet up.

If the two states didn’t have Mississippi between them, this one would be a heck of a border war and would probably have more sports involved.

Still, a pretty darn good rivalry.
