Do you ever root for other SEC teams to lose to OOC teams?

I can't see how in the hell anyone would, but what reason would there be?

No. I can't really imagine a hypothetical game where I would.

The reason would be for recruiting purposes. If LSU wins 11 games this year and Bama only wins 8, you have an extra edge in recruiting.

But you should always cheer for Vandy and Kentucky

ETA: and to talk shite on the rant

Because I don't relish in the success of other schools? Spare me the conference allegiance shite, media has little to do with who plays for the national championship.

You think I care if Boise beats Georgia? Penn State beats Bama? A&M beats Arkansas? BYU beats Ole Miss?

I do actually, I hope the SEC goes 0-fer


SEC!SEC!SEC!

Question to auburn fans, are you really rooting for Bama to beat Penn State?

If Clemson Joined the SEC I'd root against them in every game (I already do as it is), even if they played North Texas.

Yes, I will never root for Auburn, and there's only a few situations where I would root for UT.

Even though I take pride in how strong the SEC is, I have no allegiance to any team but Arkansas - SEC or not.

The people saying how they root for Tennessee with Dooley just remind me how bad we are.

Easy question. Yes. There are many instances when an SEC team losing an OOC game helps LSU's cause.

If Georgia and LSU are ranked #8 and #9 respectively on Thanksgiving, and neither will play in the SECCG, LSU should root for Georgia Tech to beat the Bulldogs to increase the Tigers' chances of a BCS at-large berth.

I'm also rooting for Boise State to beat Georgia because I love the BSU hype (mostly because of the constant bitching about it on this board, which I find entertaining).

Funny this question has been answered in the negative so many times. That's one of the strangest things about the SEC, we will gladly root for fellow SEC teams (including rivals, that means you Gerogia) when they play OOC games. Most cons won't do that.

I do occasionally if it helps Bama's position in the polls. That's about the only time I do it, though.
