It's got to be Auburn, right? They've played them more than Georgia Tech and the series is substantially more competitive.
I view the Georgia-Georgia Tech rivalry as similar to LSU-Tulane. It's there, but mainly for old-timers.
Florida is #1 or biggest. Some fans would argue GT. Almost all consider Auburn #3.

I don't really care where UGA fans put their theoretical rankings. I agree that in a bubble, AU should be #3. You guys are #2 for us, obviously, because we don't have a third team that remains a real rival. I guess LSU is about as close as we come? Although Arkansas would obviously love to be on that list, for some reason.
But, in practice, Auburn is probably closer to #1 or #2 for a great many UGA fans. I'm not claiming you're obsessed with us, but in Atlanta there are a ton of AU people and we're far more relevant to your every day life than UF and even Tech, a lot of the time.
TLDR: Auburn may rightfully be #3, but a lot of the time we're getting the #1 treatment from the heart of UGA's footprint (Atlanta).
