Never understood conference pride. The only thing I care about is our game results and our recruiting. Other teams in the conference doing better can impact us negatively in those departments.

I have never pulled for the SEC in the postseason or in Bowl Games. I generally don't like the other schools and we compete for many of the same recruits and players, so why see these teams perched up in the spotlight?

I also hate the SEC homer - everybody else plays cupcakes, it means more, etc. Just annoying.

I root for the conference unless its Bama or TAMU. Ole Miss has been added to that list for the foreseeable future.

SEC well represented in playoffs. Going forward it will be strict top ten plus Alabama and Notre Dame, if they not in top ten.

The SEC pride thing is losing steam… Our biggest competitors are the other teams in our conference…

I agree. I don't give a shite about any SEC team winning a title I pull for whoever I hate the least. And that can change year to year

You’re correct. It’s so fricking soft to cheer for one of your oldest rivals.

I would never cheer for my direct competitor’s success in my professional life.

I totally disagree. I want every team we beat to be national champion material. We all benefit when the SEC is perceived to be the strongest conference.
