I made a commitment a couple years back to go to an away game at every SEC stadium. Based on that experience I normally don't care how the SEC teams do in bowl games but this year makes me rethink that idea. I live in Clemson and the amount of crap I hear on the radio and just out in public is insane the whole SEC bias and SEC homer thing is brought up on a daily basis almost hourly. After GT's win you would have thought they just won a national title. In my opinion besides Bama fans the people I hear talk about SEC bias and SEC fans being homers the most is the fans of non SEC teams. Wondering if its just a product of me living in an ACC town or is it everywhere.

I can give you a flipside to that as well. I have friends and neighbors who are from up north and they have told me that they enjoy watching SEC football because it is the best and we are the most passionate fan base out there.

One neighbor graduated from Bowling Green, hates tOSU, likes UF and watches SEC football a lot. Another neighbor is from Chicago and likes LSU now. But there a lot of folks who still live up north that feel neglected by the media hype of the SEC.

The SECN has really generated a lot of interest in SEC sports and when guys like Finebaum become folk heros it tells you something. Sports is big $$ these days and when you slice the layers away it is just entertainment...although some of us think its a way of life....like me

I live in the same area you do.. Clemson is the king ACC homer team for sure.

I hate them honestly more than GT Florida and Aub combined... Our win over them this year was so sweet.

Good luck in your game
