I'm saying UGa/USC was better, as a series, from 2000-2015 than UGa/Auburn or UGa/UF during the same time period.
From 2000-2015 UGA is:
9-7 vs SC. 10 of the 16 games were by a TD or less. Yes, it was a competitive series during that time frame.
10-6 vs AU. 9 of the 16 games decided by a TD or less. About the same level of competition as SC.
5-11 vs UF. 9 of the 16 games decided by a TD or less. UGA lost more but the games had as many close calls as the other two series. About the same level of competition, but since UGA was on the losing side it makes the rivalry stronger for us than the other two.
UF and AU have more history and were very close to the same level of competitiveness as SC was over the time period you suggested. You can see why those are viewed as better rivalries even over that time.

Thank you for doing the numbers. At its most competitive the UGA/USC series has never been as good as UGA/UF or UGA/Auburn are even UGA/GT for that. UGA/Clemson is a better rivalry, using the term loosely, than UGA and USC was at its most competitive.
