I think Steve Spurrier once said UGA has more rivalries than anyone, and it does sometimes seem that we are rivals with the majority of our schedule. However, it is my experience that we are usually the second or third top rival for schools other than Georgia Tech and not usually hated enemy #1.
My ranking and comments:
1) Florida
2) Auburn
these two can probably be switched depending on the year. I will say as someone in Metro Atlanta, I interact with way more Auburn fans than Florida fans. But beating Florida feels so sweet after the 1990s-2000s Florida run.
3) Georgia Tech
a certain subset of the Georgia fanbase, mostly older and those that grew up during the Dodd years, views Georgia Tech as rival #1.
4) South Carolina
5) Tennessee
again these two could switch depending on the year. South Carolina was very heated when Spurrier was coach.
****Clemson: honorable mention. Clemson is the closest FBS school to Georgia and the two schools used to play very nationally important games. Now that we have a few more games with Clemson on the schedule, this could easily be #4.
*****Alabama: honorable mention. Same as Clemson, but with more recent national showdowns. There are alot of Bama fans in Atlanta and Georgia. I could easily see us two having a really important rivalry once the SEC schedule changes.
