#2. Auburn@Georgia is a bigger draw than either LSU or Tennessee. This game ALWAYS ranks among the season's top 10 most watched games. Georgia alone outdraws LSU in viewership and viewership = money. TRADITION also rules here. Plus, UGA's ranked #1.
Last three years (could have gone back further but no use really) GA vs Aubby was not a top 10 regular season viewed game. You probably need to walk back “always” and say maybe top 20 or 30 game. Up to you.
As far as tradition, GA vs FL is tradition. Aubby, not so much in the national eye.
And GA does not always our view LSU. Usually depends on which team in better. In 2019, it was all LSU. Year in and year out? That goes to Bama, 100%.
Only reason the game is on is GA is ranked top 5 and defending champ and that is reason enough.
