How many of you will be pulling for LSU --- regardless of which SEC team you are for---when it comes to any SEC team playing for the national championship---you gotta stand up for the conference
I'm an LSU fan---but yet last year I pulled for Florida
What about you other guys??? Loyal to the SEC even though your team isn't playing for the championship
or
are you jealous???

I am a Razorback fan and I will be rooting for LSU just as I did for Florida last season. And I will be rooting for every SEC team in a bowl game.

Pull for every SEC team in these bowl games.

This is interesting. While some fans of Big Ten teams will unilaterally root for all other Big Ten teams, I don't sense there is the same intense conference loyalty among Big Ten fans as there is among SEC fans. It would be interesting to hear from some of the other conferences, too. I'm sure there are cultural and social explanations as to why some areas are more loyal than others to their conferences.

Tiger born, Tiger bred, and when i die i'll be purple and gold Tiger dead! Geaux Tigers!
And i'm proud to say that my Buckeye born and bred wife from Cincinnati will be cheering on my Bayou Bengals with me!:thumbs: -
OSU all the way :thumbs:
I don't know what's with you SEC guys. I can NEVER pull for Michigan, even if they were representing the Big Ten. -
I pull for LSU(I am Baton Rouge born, Cajun razed, died in the wool LSU fan), Auburn, Alabama and anybody who plays against Ole Miss!!!! -
:BangHead:
There was no way I was rooting for Michigan to win the National Championship game. -
Born in Ohio. Gator by choice and the Grace of God. Go Tigers. SEC, is there any other conference?

I am a Big Ten fan transplanted in SEC country. If LSU wins, I will never hear the end of it from those here who think the SEC is the strongest conference in NCAA Football.
I am pulling for Ohio State all the way.
Personally, I believe the Big 12 was the strongest conference. -

I am a Tennessee fan who was born on Ohio. I do not root for SEC teams as a rule. Tennessee has to recruit against these teams. Then again, Tennessee has to recruit against everyone. So I don't pull for the SEC team by default. Just because the SEC is the best football conference (sorry Pastor Bob, you just have to cope :laugh: ) doesn't mean I root for them. I never root for Bama (for obvious reasons) so, go Colorado. And I hate Michigan (for many reasons), so go Gators.
I like the Big Ten because of my mild roots in Ohio. At this point, I'm torn. I don't hate LSU, but I don't love OSU. Last year, I was just a fan watching a game between the Bucks and Gators. I will probably be the same this year when the Tigers play the Bucks.
At any rate, my allegiance doesn't run by conference defaults. I have my teams in a pecking order, with the Vols way at the top, and the rest off in the distance.
Beat the Badgers! -
Being originally from Louisiana, I will of course be rooting for LSU. I don't always pull for SEC teams, however. I especially dislike UF, and had no rooting interest in last year's BSC game.

I normally pull for conferences when not pulling for my teams -- GA Tech and UM. I always pull for the ACC and SEC (except UGA for obvious reasons and Alabama due to Nick Satan - I mean Saban).
I normally pull against the PAC 10 and Big 10 -- too way over-rated conferences whose teams play no one outside of their conference.
Look at OSU's nonconference schedule this year --- Kent State, Akron, Washington and Youngstown State. They had no games against anyone in the top 20 team while LSU had seven. What a difference, eh?
And they are in the BCS championship game??? I hope LSU beats them worse than UF did last year. -

OSU played Washington @ Washington. That is a quality non-conference road game. At least LSU got VT @ home.
Since the PAC 10 is so overrated, do you recall the only meeting between the PAC 10 and the SEC this season? California vs Tennessee? I believe the SEC lost by two touchdowns.
Where are you getting your information? -

Yes, LSU did have a weak non-conference schedule. But their overall schedule was much tougher -- VTech, Florida, Auburn, Tennessee, etc. BTW, Washington was 2-7 in a weak Pac 10 (and no, a first game between Cal & Tenn is not a good comparison between the conferences). -

There are three Big Ten / SEC bowl match-ups. We'll have to see who gets bragging rights this year.
