You should worry about beating all SEC teams... I actually don't get the hate for Auburn by LSU fans either. I basically want to beat everyone we play. However, the intensity always seems to build for consistently ranked opponents (UF, AU, UGA, Tenn, etc.). That being said...I think that LSU has a significant rivalry with Ole Miss and Arkansas. I think that the rivalries are built more on proximity than anything else. LSU just happens to be the only show in town. One rivalry I'd like to renew is the LSU / A&M rivalry. That would be worthy of an annual meeting.
What's the reasoning for having Florida ranked ahead of LSU? Florida has Tenn, LSU, Georgia, Fla St and South Carolina on the schedule, with only Tenn and Fla St at home. Does ESPN hold Urban Meyer in higher regard than Les Miles by that much?
The forum caddy comes from is more active than this one, but LSU posters get zapped for hardly anything. I don't post, just luuuuuuurk.
Florida is a legit Top 20 team but that is it. I feel bad for Urban Meyer because Florida will go at best 9-2 next year and this Top 5 garbage being thrown their way will only put more pressure on the guy. Right now, his system has not be tried and tested on the SEC level and I doubt he comes in and automatically makes this 5-option set work when he leaves his QB open for so many hits. The defense for Florida is right now average AT BEST for UF and with their starting RB leaving for the NFL.....it may not be great on offense.
AU Nation Could that be because most of the AU fans were either at the game or out watching it somewhere? Sorry but thats not the best time to check out the forum. It is pretty active compared to a lot of forums. I doubt you would find ANY forum that for any schools that are as active as this one. I've never seen so many posts in one day. But I would recomend AUNation to anyone wanting the best Auburn forum. Most posters knowlegable and always eager to join in a conversation or good trash-talking fight in the Woodshed.
And correct me if I'm wrong, but I never saw Tubby-tubby light up a victory cigar in Stamford Stadium or Bryant-Denny.
