    Alabama or Florida winning the SEC title game? I am not a huge Saban fan (no offense SabanFan) but I truly dislike Urban Meyer. I think Alabama winning is more helpful to LSU than the huge b@st@rd at Florida winning. We have to face both every year anyway. I just could not stand to have that arrogant Florida fanbase winnnig another NC. I truly believe that Florida is on more solid ground to begin with and another championship will only increase their recruiting. Alabama still has a more competitive area to recruit. I know I would feel better about rooting for Saban than that super Prima Donna Meyer. This is truly a disturbing thought. Unless you haven't noticed I don't like Urban Meyer.

    Root for whatever team you want. Your choice in who to root for will not affect the game at all.

    I know...I know but I was just looking for opinions from others as to what they think is better for LSU. This is all part of plan to join a clique:lol:

    Perfect scenario for me? UF winning the SEC championship, but losing the BCSNCG. I do not want to see Saban in a championship game, and I want to retain our title of Only team to win two. That is more important to me than an SEC national champ.

    I will pull for neither, but my utter disdain for all things Florida and Urban Meyer, leads me to wish Bama a victory. I cant get across how much I dislike the gators and meyer.
    That is all.

    I hate Florida. I don't hate Alabama. But alas, living in Alabama, I think it is in my personal best interests for Florida to win. I don't want to have to hear about any Alabama championships, or about how I am jealous of Alabama having Saban. I'm already getting that.

    The only SEC team to win two, but whoever wins the BCSNCG this year will have one two crystal balls.

    For all practical purposes, both teams hurt us. We face both teams each year, and recruit against both. However, we tend to battle Florida in their backyard for recruits, and bama(under Saban) in our own. Bama is getting La boys and granted, to date it has not been anyone that Miles wanted, but the presence is here and is an eventual threat to recruits we do want. Most of our more coveted recruits at least have bama on their wish list, regardless of the veracity of those claims.

    Add to that, the Florida fanbase doesn't view their successes as our failure, but bama does. Most especially the coaches. It's silly, but the Saban/Miles drama(largely media driven), is alive and well, and our recruits will hear about it year after year.

    I like bama better because it's good for the SEC in general and makes a victory over them more relevant, but I do not want them winning championships. Many of their fans have been intolerable with Saban coaching there, but a championship would likely make them unbearable. I would prefer Miles gets his second, before Saban gets his second not out of hatred or jealousy, but because that is just better for LSU.

    gotta pull for florida, i respect Tim Tebow. Dont care for Meyer, but Tebow is a good kid and the best player in college football. Wish he would have been a Tiger.
