No. 4 – Mississippi State Bulldogs and Ole Miss Rebels
This is an old and scrappy rivalry that goes from the Egg Bowl, towards the end of the college football season, and continues into basketball season where both teams just pound each other regardless of where they fall in the standings.
Having an in-state rival in your own conference doubles the hate factor, and the Rebels and Bulldogs make no excuses for their complete and utter attempts to destroy the other side’s morale and game.
They even get a bit testy on the baseball diamond.
Definitely one of the most solid SEC rivalries you’ll see.
