1. Alabama vs. Auburn: The Iron Bowl is the measuring stick for all rivalries.
2. Florida vs. Georgia: The catchy nickname is no longer politically correct, but still …
3. Mississippi State vs. Ole Miss: It’s safe to say that Dan Mullen has spiced up the Egg Bowl.
4. Alabama vs. Tennessee: The Third Saturday in October (or even the fourth Saturday) is one of those games that defines the SEC.
5. Alabama vs. LSU: There have been so many epic games between these two old foes that they run into each other.
6. Auburn vs. Georgia: The Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry has been played every year that didn’t conflict with a world war since 1892.
7. Georgia vs. Tennessee: Herschel Walker introduced himself to the college football world in this rivalry, which picked up steam when the SEC went to divisional play.
8. LSU vs. Ole Miss: There was a certain punt return on Halloween night a half decade ago that still resonates when these two teams get together.
9. Florida vs. Tennessee: In the 1990s, this was one of the hottest rivalries in the country, even though the Gators have dominated.
10. Georgia vs. South Carolina: These two border rivals were going at it even before the Gamecocks joined the SEC.

...has a rabit hate of UGA.

And I've yet to meet a UGA fan who....well, I've never met a UGA fan that I can remember.

I don't see UGA-UF as a real rivalry.

OK, they play at a neutral site with half the fans being for one school, and half being for the other school. And Mark Richt let his whole team celebrate in the endzone after a score. What else ya got?

from one of my good friends who is a Florida fan. And by Florida fan, I mean actually went to school there and holds a degree from there. Not some dude with a Tim Tebow jersey from Gulfport.

"Then he doesn't know any Florida fans. I hate Georgia with the burning of a thousand suns. Just kidding. We do hate Georgia, but I do have a lot of UGA friends. Since we beat them mostly every year, the hatred has died down a lot. But it's still the game we have to win every year. "

When things like that happen, fans never forget. Kentucky fans that haven't been born yet will hate Christian Laettner, just like I hate Billy Cannon.

Florida and Georgia hate each other, and it is two sided. Orson hates him some Georgia, loves Larry Munson, but hates Georgia. It is possible to have a real rivalry with a team that's not in your state's borders.

Florida and Georgia have also had alternating periods of domination over each other, much like Alabama-UT. Florida has had a very one-sided edge over UGA for a while now, but a few decades back, the reverse could've been said.
