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

I think you can make new short-term rivals, but not rivals that last for generations.
Alabama-Georgia is now what Alabama-LSU was for the last decade plus. It’s a rivalry in that those are the two best teams in the conference more often than not, so you know you’ve gotta go through them to accomplish your goals for the season. But it’s not the kinda game where if both teams finish 7-5 you’d go “well at least we beat Alabama.”
You look forward to the game right now because that’s the team you’ve gotta beat to win the SEC. Not because of rivalry hatred. There’s a difference.
