Because the lore of the World Largest Cocktail Party enabled the Networks a chance to market the game. UF still had the FSU game to have some relevancy, but UGA could say the same.

I understand the point you are trying to make, but I still think it is misguided.

ND/USCw
Texas/OU
Alabama/Auburn
OSU/Michigan
UGA/Auburn
LSU/Alabama

are all great rvialries that do not rely on location. I won't deny that WLOCP give is an added edge, but the game would still be huge because of the teams involved.

Yes, Florida would have FSU and UGA would still have GT and Auburn. GT has lost some of it's luster, but the same could be said about USC/ND and Texas/OU and Florida/FSU. When a team falls on hard times that happens.
