Our biggest rival is the one that potentially keeps us from an East championship.
The east has only existed since 1992. How can a school be "UGA's biggest rival" if that designation can change in the breeze every so often due to different circumstances? That's not how it works. A school's biggest rival is their biggest rival, period. Forever. It doesn't change on a whim.
I heard a pretty good explanation a while back that I like. Tech is our biggest rival (obvs) but we have cycles of having a different main "nemesis". In the early 80s you couldn't find a more heated foe for us than clemson. Throughout the entire 80s we had some classics with AU, they kept us from being SEC Champs several times and likewise we did the same to them. In the 90s UF and UT owned us so we turned our hatred a bit more towards them. Over the last 10 years SC has been a thorn in our side and caused us some trouble. Just because all of those teams may have surged up the "teams we hate more" rankings doesn't change the fact that tech is still our biggest rival.
Saying that Tech is our biggest rival is like saying that North Korea is the USA's biggest rival. It's simply not true. We despise Tech. We feel sorry for Tech, at times. But Tech has not been UGA's biggest rival for many years. Some of you people are giving Tech way too much credit. We have much bigger fish to fry than The North Ave.Trade School.

Precisely. Tech will never keep us out of the SECCG. The path to Atlanta will always go through Jacksonville. The winner of the UGA-USCjr game didn't even necessarily dictate who actually went to the Dome during the Darth Visor era, despite its temporary status as a rivalry game.

Well they have fried our fish the last 2/3.
