Judging by the all-time series record you wouldn’t know just how great of a rivalry Georgia vs. South Carolina is.

Georgia leads the series 48-18-2, but since 2007 the Gamecocks have gone 5-4 against the Bulldogs including three straight wins in Columbia.

Throughout the history of the two programs, only South Carolina saw their series with Georgia as a major rivalry. Georgia on the other hand had them below Georgia Tech, Florida, Auburn, Tennessee and, depending on who you asked, Clemson.

It wasn’t until 2005 when Steve Spurrier, former Florida head coach and Heisman winner, became head coach of South Carolina. That added a spark to the rivalry that it previously did not have and gave the Bulldogs a reason to hate South Carolina.

Now former Georgia Bulldog defensive-back Will Muschamp is head coach at South Carolina which only fuels the animosity between the two schools.

But great and memorable games have always taken place in the rivalry’s history and here are five of the best games that the rivalry has to offer.
