I'm still perplexed why this is such a hot button issue. To me personally, UGA has 3 "rivals" and a handful of rotating nemeses. 3 is obviously more than most teams have but they all are valid. GT/UF/AU each have their place in the history of UGA football and I think without question would be considered rivals.
Then you have the rotating group. Throughout the 80s UGA/clemson was national and produced some terrific games and national title winners. That doesn't make them our rival necessarily though. In the 90s UT rose to prominence and was a game many UGA fans wanted to win more than probably some of our main 3 rivals. Once spurrier took over SC they shot themselves to the forefront especially since they beat us a handful of times.
But there is still the main 3 and everyone else is below them in the pecking order. It's not belittling them, or saying they suck, it's jsut that there's not any more room since the main 3 have always been there and always will be.
