I'd like to see all of the major rivalry games preserved but I'm not sure online fan surveys (which have younger than average participants and confounding with recency) contradict the need to preserve the major rivalries with the deepest histories.
You really think UGA would choose Auburn over UF?

I would have 20 years ago.
UGA vs Auburn was competitive through the 80s and 90s.
UGA vs UF wasnt competitive in the 90s.
But things changed. Auburn is basically an ACC school hanging out with their big brother's friends.

I don't think any of the schools losing rivalry games should say yes to the 1-7 option. IMO that includes (but is not limited to) Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, and Tennessee.
But if forced to choose? Even if Florida and Georgia were on the same page they might be out voted by the other schools. The big six playing each other is more balanced than Tennessee vs Vanderbilt, LSU vs A&M or Arkansas etc.
And the very oldest people in power may have loyalty to the oldest rivalries. Should Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, and Tennessee really stop playing the longest annual rivalry games? Especially when Florida's #1 is probably FSU?
