I think they build it up as their main rivalry to spite Auburn.
For a lot of the older fans it is the more important of the two. Bryant anointed it as the more important of the two when he started the tradition of handing out cigars after beating Tennessee. But even when Tennessee was on its 7-game win streak against us in the late-90s/early-00s, I personally hated Auburn more.

Makes sense. Tennessee was arguably the most accomplished SEC program before Bryant I believe, and they had a slight lead in the head to head series
