and yet in the ESPN Herschel documentary you can clearly hear the Georgia players in their locker room chanting SEC after a big win.
Perhaps it wasn't as noticeable then b/c of how different media was?
Maybe.
I don't think the SEC fans had a rallying point for it. That rallying point was the 2004 screw job Auburn suffered, followed by the huge 2006 UF delivered comeuppance to national conventional thought about media favorite schools. The thinking was that if it could happen to a 13-0 Auburn team, it could happen to any SEC school.
What other conferences who criticize it, and wonder why SEC fans care about rivals, don't understand is that the better your conference brothers do, the better regarded the conference and the more likely your team is to get into the big game over say an equally regarded team from the PAC 12, etc.
