LSU fans may regard Alabama, Florida or Texas A&M as a bigger rival, but the Tigers have played no football foe more often than Mississippi State.

Saturday’s game (2:30 p.m., CBS) marks the 113th meeting between the Tigers and Bulldogs, with LSU holding a 74-35-3 lead in the series. They have played every year except four since 1918, when LSU did not field a team because of World War I while State did not play in 1943 because of World War II.

LSU has dominated the series since SEC divisional play began in 1992, winning 24 of the past 27 meetings though State has won two of the last five. That includes a 37-7 rout of LSU in Starkville in 2017.
