Tennessee - Florida - sure was when Peyton went up against Spurrier. Can't spell Citrus with UT.
Florida - Georgia - the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party - seems like most years it's pretty clear cut who the favorite is.
LSU - Florida - Death Valley vs. the Swamp

Others? Which annual SEC game that doesn't involve Alabama would you pick as the most interesting and the best game most years?

There have been some wild Ole Miss v Arky that have been very entertaining.

The one where both teams lose....

But if I had to chose Missouri and Vanderbilt and its because I don't care of the result

From an excitement standpoint, the semi-rivalry of Vandy vs. Ole Miss has been supremely entertaining. Vandy is always way more competitive than their usual showing for that game, and really, Vandy is just one of those teams that loses so much, watching them win gives me that "Well good for them!" feeling. Vandy will vandy themselves sometime through the season, but that showdown with Ole Miss, you can really see, for one week, their true potential as a team.

For me, Auburn - Georgia & Florida - Georgia.Those games seem to be highly competitive every year. I also like the TN-Vandy game and the Egg Bowl.

I have to go with Auburn vs. Georgia. I know they only played each other a couple of times but seeing Bo Jackson on one side of the field and Herschel Walker on the other side was something else back in the early 80's.

The problem with that game is you don't 'root' for either team to win ,do you?
I sure do, always rooting for an AU loss. And in most years, the last two excepted, UGA hasn't usually been in position to benefit from the win - as in being in contention for the SEC East title - so no harm in them winning. ;)

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Ole Miss - Mississippi State.

Not often great teams, and even less often influences a championship of any kind. But for spectacular dysfunctionality, internecine hate, and pure-d wierdness, it's hard to top.
