re: SEC rivalries grouped in tiers.

SC fans hate y’all. They definitely thinks it’s a rivalry

sure we hate them. we hated them so much we annexed land - to protect us from the Spaniards in Florida over a century ago - using Oglethorpe's debtors & less fortunates boated in from England.

we do not think of it as a 'rivalry' ...it's a border clash. we've played Georgia for decades and there's history - but Gamecocks don't think of them as a 'rival'. we see it as "oh shite - we have to deal with these people this week". Same with Tennessee.

South Carolina has 1 'rivalry' game - and it's a blood feud that's played out every November on Palmetto soil.
