I don't think of Atlanta and Charlotte as a "rivalry".
However, I do feel as Upstate South Carolina and the Charlotte area of North Carolina is more in a region that includes Atlanta more than it would be in a region that would include the southern half of Virginia.
Northern NC (Raleigh, Durham, Winston Salem, etc) is more regional to parts of Southern Virginia -- i.e. Tobacco Road, etc.
Also, the centrality of Atlanta does not extend as to cover all of Alabama or even all of Georgia let alone Mississippi.
