re: The Nation pulling for Auburn, The SEC for Bama

The college football fans I know up here (mostly Notre Dame and Ohio State fans) would not be furious if auburn gets into the BCS title game. They only want Bama to lose because it likely eliminates another SEC title (and because it likely helps a Big Ten school get in).

National fans are pulling for auburn the way LSU will be pulling for auburn - holding their noses and wishing they could both lose, but taking the lesser of two evils in their minds.
