    The only 2 SEC schools I regularly root against (regardless of their opponent) are located East of Mississippi and West of Georgia.:D

    The SEC winning out of conference always make us look good. Fla skulldragging OSU last year helped us out because losing 2 SEC games meant we lost to quality teams.

    When it's close in the polls, the SEC gets the edge because of conference strength. JMO

    I've already given my opinion...pull for SEC during bowls and out of conference. I'll say, "Florida is gonna KILL Michigan", or "Auburn, I hate 'em, but they're gonna destroy Clemson."

    For me, its a respect thing. I know when we play Florida, Auburn, UGA and most of the other SEC teams that it's going to be a dogfight. UF and Auburn are big games for us everytime we play them. The winner usually goes on to a great season.

    Hate them during gameweek/gameday, but respect them before and afterwards. There are 8 or 9 really good programs in the SEC and I feel like they've earned that respect. Beating them makes us look good.

    I always pull for sec schools in bowl games.However, IF Alabama or Auburn happen to lose I don't go around the house kicking the dog .

    Dude, not all of us passed Geography:lol:

    I pretty much root against Bama and Auburn all the time...Even when they play against each other I hope that there's a small chance for both team to lose...Since we beat Aubie this year I hope they beat Clemson in the Battle of the Petite Tigers...Can't say the same for Bama, I just hope they lose bad.

    UCF vs. Mississippi State -- I want Miss State to win, but I'd prefer to kick them out of the SEC and replace them with Texas A&M or Univ. of Texas.

    Alabama vs. Colorado -- I like Saban, and I hope he does as good at Bama as he did at LSU (which wasn't quite up to my expectations). Bama is a fine SEC school that I am proud to have in our conference and I want them to do well. The only people I don't like are LSU idiots who think Saban is some sort of God and that Miles completely sucks compared to him (and if Saban losing is the only way to get these people to wake up, then so be it). But, like I said, Bama is a fine SEC school that I am proud to have in our conference. I hope they beat the hell out of Colorado.

    Kentucky vs. Florida State -- I like itty-bitty Kentucky. That would be fun to see them get a win over a program as big as Florida State. As for Kentucky's membership in the SEC, I'd keep them. They are the premier state school that represents Kentucky. The team from the SEC East that I wanted booted from the SEC is Vanderbilt. I want to replace them with Miami or Florida State.

    Clemson vs. Auburn -- Without a doubt I want Auburn to win. Along with Bama, Auburn is the best program we have that makes the SEC West (and the LSU/Auburn rivalry) look good. Losing to an inferior Clemson program would not look good.

    Wisconsin vs. Tennessee -- This is going to be a good one. Wisconsin is one of the Big Dogs in the Big 10. Big Ten fans have a lot a hope that Wisky will soon emerge as a national power. Tennessee is already a national powerhouse. Big 10 people are getting really excited about this one, and believe that Wisky will take down the Vols. I'd love to see the Vols beat the living crap out of Wisky and crush the hopes of all those Big 10 fans watching the game.

    Missouri vs. Arkansas -- This is going to be another good one. Most people think that Missouri is the better team. But I think the better team is Arkansas. So of course I'm hoping that Arkansas proves it.

    Michigan vs. Florida -- This is going to be another good one. Despite losing focus this year, this Michigan team is one of the most stacked teams in college football. Their coach has been with their team for like 30 years straight (coach, DC, asst coach) and this is his last game. In addition Michigan megastar seniors Henne, Hart, Long, and Crable will be wearing the Michigan jersey for the last time in their lives. If Michigan gets their team focus/chemistry back together during this Christmas break, this will be a hell of a ball game. But yes, I want Florida to win, because seeing a Big 10 national power fall to an SEC national power is always fun for me (like the NC game last year).

    Hawaii vs. Georgia -- I don't think Hawaii has a shot in hell at beating Georgia.
