What SEC teams do you respect and which do you lack respect for?

There are many types of schools involved in the SEC and I do believe some schools/fansbases/playing styles are held in higher regard than others. IMO the team I respect the most at least in football is Alabama. And the reason for it is because it's always a pretty close game and it's usually played with sportsmanship and win or lose the competition proves to be worth while. I do believe Saban coaches with class and doesn't have to rely on gimmicks or dirty play to motivate his team.

Teams i tend to lack respect for (though i must preface this with fact that I'm not flaming) are Auburn and Florida. They've had a history of either chop blocking type play or punting the ball out the back of the endzone shennanigans that really take away from the integrity of the game. And if we lose i don't really leave the game feeling like we were just outclassed by a better team.

probably just vandy in football. the only non cheaters in the conference. Plus, the athletes graduate with a VU degree and that's something I highly respect. (I have personal ties to VU)

basketball-no clue. I will just base it off tradition and program history (they are all dirty) so Arkansas and UK for me.

I respect teams that have won NC's. I don't really respect AU as a program because I dislike how they do some things and I question some of the character in their recruiting practices. I do respect most of AU's fans however.

Accidentally left out UGA. I respect them, but they need to pick it up in the rivalry.

respect is such a tricky word

Of late I think Alabama and Florida are the programs I worry the most about tho. And UGA being in the East (and not a permanent opponent) makes them less relevant to me... but if they got their shite together they have no limitations on their success that I can see

I respect you dear!

... and it has nothing to do with Cam's recruitment. It's other things. I've stated many times I won't believe AU paid Cam a dime until I see them punished for it. Which hasn't happened.
