Video: The game that started the best rivalry in CFB (Bama v UGA)
- Thread starter Cruloc
- Start date
I didn't watch the entire video but it appeared to be leading up to that UGA/Alabama game being the best CFB rivalry. If that is the case, I couldn't disagree more. It had more drama because of the Saban/Smart relationship, but that dynamic is now gone. Saban is retired and honestly, Kirby's success is appearing to cool off a bit. Yes, we've played a few good games against each other, but nothing to take it to the "best".
yeah, there have been some epic games, but the absurdly lopsided outcomes in this rivalry in the past 17-18 years keep it from being "best" or "great" as far as rivalries go imho.
It's been some good games recently, but overall, the "rivalry" is so lopsided it is very tough for me to even put it at the LSU level of "rivalry", which isn't much of a rivalry either.
We aren’t even each other’s biggest rival or even second biggest. They even have Florida as a third big rival. We really don’t have a third. LSU was a big deal in the Saban era but I always saw that as being bigger on their end.
With divisions gone it is less likely we meet in the SECCG. I think to be a real rival you should at least play every year and that’s not happening as if the schedule protects games we both have two we’d want to keep ahead of each other and neither is going to want a strong program as an every year event.
Bottom line, whoever came up with this is an idiot or just wanted a clickbait title.

granted, this hit is similar to what you would see in a rivalry game
I could watch that play all day long.granted, this hit is similar to what you would see in a rivalry game
Sounds like an AI generated video that doesn't know what it's talking about. There are lots of those infiltrating Youtube.
To me, the 2012 SEC championship game started the rivalry. and no, it’s not a real rivalry, it’s a competition rivalry.
Agree
AJ to Coop followed by them coming up short on the other end just killed them in 2012.
That was the day we got inside their heads.
One of the most Clutch Throws in Alabama history…
We got them twice with the same play.
It became more of a Kirby vs. Saban rivalry in my opinion. More than a Bama vs. UGA. If the rest of the East was any good we wouldn't even be talking about this.
This. The east was down for so many years UGA has had a cakewalk through it while everyone in the West bludgeoned each other to death.
Among your regular contributions to this message board, I always enjoy this one the most.granted, this hit is similar to what you would see in a rivalry game
This is fun to watch....over and over and over. That last second side eye look when he realizes he's about to be clobbered.granted, this hit is similar to what you would see in a rivalry game
