After Tulane left the SEC, the rivalry diminished and the two teams renewed the rivalry in 2006. LSUs traditional rival in the SEC is Ole Miss and their rivalry has declined for various reasons, including a perceived lack of competitiveness. LSU’s four primary football rivalries are: Arkansas Razorbacks, Auburn Tigers, Alabama Crimson Tide, and the Florida Gators. LSU has also a lesser rivalry with the Tennessee Volunteers as the teams do not play each other on an annual basis.
