This one is my all time favorite football rivalry. Even when one team or the other is in a "rebuilding year", they still hate each other enough that you'd have to feel that maybe if they took a vote, they'd be allowed to just have this game sans referees, and who among us would complain?
AL vs AU is, too, but this one here recently has had so much national championship ramifications riding on it that it just adds enough extra emotion to it that it simply has to be qualified as a "great" rivalry.
And, by "great", I mean........alcohol-fueled fistfights bewteen middle-aged mullet-headed men (and in the case of most AL teams, women, too) in the parking lots.
Since GA is having some difficulties this season, you know it's in the back of their minds that if the Gatres get the Dawgs down, they'll simply kick their guts out, just to watch 'em die, so the extra motivation to not get sent home with their testicles left behind in a glass of water in some trophy case in Gainesville is probably eating holes in their redneck heads like borer worms right now, and there is simply nothing more dangerous than a redneck in a fistfight with genuinely nothing left to lose.
And Florida hasn't been waltzing through their schedule with the ease they probably expected back in August, and with Sikes on the cheerleading squad, and Teebow playing with "DO NOT CONCUSS" painted across his forehead now, you know the big lizzard faithful are thinking, "The Kentucky hit was luck, sure........but Georgia'd make it part of their gameplan just to win, and watch us try to act excited about an invitation to the State Farm Klondike Bar Bowl in Raleigh, NC in January."

Sure. Without coffee, why even bother?
