8. Florida vs Georgia (World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party)

Georgia leads series, 50-43-2

The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party is perhaps the longest name for a rivalry game, but the matchup between the Gators and the Bulldogs never fails to be a great contest. The shear size of tailgate is enough to know how much this game means to fans of both schools. The game takes place in a neutral site in Jacksonville, Florida and regularly helps decide who will win the SEC East and go to the SEC Championship Game.

This year was not as exciting a game for both teams, Florida won handily, 24-10, partly due to their more experienced team going against the youth of the Georgia Bulldogs. Make no mistake, the importance of this rivalry isn’r going anywhere anytime soon. It will help decide the Eastern division for years to come.
