    Well, personally I think Georgia's rivals are pretty well established historically:

    1) GA Tech (been awhile since they've been good, but still a lot of hate there)

    2) Florida (obviously)

    3) Auburn ("deep south's oldest rivalry")

    Carolina might make sense (although it's not statistically much of a rivalry with Carolina only having a winning percentage of 50.9% in their history), although Bama vs Georgia would likely be a powerhouse game in the long term. I'd hate to play Bama 3x a year though (regular season, SEC, playoffs) LOL.

    Bama is only a rivalry b/c we and they are the two consistently elite teams in the SEC. If Saban retired and the Bama program fell off, they wouldn't be a rivalry.

    So, for in conference I have to go with UF, AU, UT - all have potential of being tough games.

    GA TECH

    Gators

    Auburn

    Looks like the powers to be want to cycle through the league every two years with a 4 year cycle at every stadium. Only 4 year freshman would experience the full effect. What about a 3 year cycle. Can have 3 standing and 4 rotational sec teams. This would allow most players to have a game against all sec teams and still leave room for both “donation “ games for smaller schools and for the aggressive programs to schedule top tier opponents from other conferences. And not to mention classic UGA/GT or Clemson/SC and FL/FL state to remain on the schedules.

    **** sure keep Auburn, Florida and Ga Tech every year! I’ll take Carolina over Tennessee, if I have to choose between the two. VOL’s fans are dangerous with those mustard bottles and golf balls.

    I don’t know what all is going to change, but I fear it’s not all going to be good. I’d hate to see games I grew up enjoying every year, be done away with. Are we going to be able to keep the SEC championship game? I’d hate to lose that game as well. How will we decide a conference champion, if so? Too many unknowns have me a little concerned. College football has already changed way too fast for my liking, with the transfer portal and NIL stuff. I love college football, and just hate a lot of what I’m seeing lately. I’m old school. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens. Hoping for the very best, but not feeling confident right now.

    ‘whatever! Whatever!

    GO DAWGS!

    9 SEC games please

    The consensus seems to have it as Auburn, Tech, and the Gators. And I'd agree!

    i get it and these are the reasons I don’t like change, although without the sport evolving, it will die on the vine. So I pick my battles, CURRENT NIL and PORTAL, scheduling, with exception of UF and Auburn, let the league figure it out. It’s a crap shoot down the road when teams who were winning when the schedule was made are now mediocre!

    You know every SEC school is going to end up picking Vanderbilt as a "rival."

    I think Connor meant SEC rivals. Tacky tech doesn’t fit in that category.

  • UGA66UGA66 Posts: 4,327 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    Florida, Auburn and GA Tech, I guess. Really no future in playing Tech though. I always consider those as possible injury games. Yeah, I am that petty. I really enjoy taking it to SC and TN and KY. Wish TN would hand out the golf balls rather than throw them...lololol. Need a 9-game schedule to sort this out. We are all guessing. Let's see what transpires. Adding TX and OK will certainly liven up the schedule. However, Bama might be too much in the mix with UGA then...no divisions? Just do not know. Anyway, GO DAWGS!!!

  • khummelkhummel Posts: 939 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    Florida, Auburn and SC, in that order. Go Dawgs!
