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.

And there are no ways to really tell. It's a great rivalry that is super close. Honestly? After thinking about it, I would probably put Auburn #2 on the list and drop GT.

I would have thought LSU? Do you guys not really get fired up about them?

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).

Yep. It's all individual opinion, and like many have said in this thread, Auburn is probably #2. It's a good rivalry.

We do, but the only real cultural overlap is South AL and this board, honestly. I don't "hear about it" in real life if we lose to LSU.

So much is dependent on proximity and the stage of the rivalry. For AU in Atlanta, UGA is arguably our #1 because we haven't won a lot recently and deal with UGA more on a daily basis. Of course for the Auburn diaspora and historical reasons, I still put UA higher.

But it unquestionably improved my daily life when Alabama broke UGA's heart (apologies for the reminder), for example.
