re: Is being delusional a staple of SEC fans?

I believe it. I couldn't even IMAGINE what a group of Texans would act like with half the national titles Bama has.

Hell Texas has one the last 30 years and if you don't mention them in your list of blue bloods (and near the top of the list dammit) they pitch a fit.

If we or they had like 7 national titles you could start a balloon racing competition with all the hot air we would put out.
