In 1992, the [[Southeastern Conference | SEC]] expanded to 12 teams and split into 2 divisions. Since then, Mississippi State and Kentucky have been designated as permanent inter-division rivals, playing each other every year. This SEC rivalry goes back to 1914 when Kentucky was still a non-IA school.
