Discussion Can new rivalries be made

Georgia and Alabama have had some crazy games over the past 20 years or so. We've had some of the craziest games. They had our fucking number but we're finally turning the tide on them(no pun intended lol) We won our first national championship in 40 years against a team that shut our shit down time and time again.

Yet people keep telling me this is not a true rivalry. But it's the team and game I look forward to the most now fuck florida. So I want other people's opinion, is this not the biggest rivalry in the SEC at this point or what

Wasn't Clemson considered a rival back in the day?

It wasn't even that long ago that UGA v Clemson was a fairly frequent early season game; I recall it being played several times during the Richt era.

Historically, Clemson and Auburn are rivals of both UGA and Tech. Should we combine our hate against them...🤔

Sorry for even entertaining that blasphemy. It is tradition that we take a yearly rivalry-week beating out of pure spite with a side of self-masochism, celebrating our once-per decade victory (the two victories from the 2010s will cover us for this pathetic decade). 😂

On our side, I'd like to see one of our historic SEC rivalries renewed. To me, Vanderbilt is the obvious choice; the location is good fit, the series has a trophy attached to it, and, unless things change for either program, it would be a consistently competitive game.
