Do y'all consistently pull for any non SEC programs? Just curious

My in-laws are Tulane folk so I roll with the Wave. I really enjoy their stadium - they have a great beer selection. Their fans are also nice folks who are knowledgeable about the SEC. There is some excitement around their program. They just made two consecutive bowl games for the first time since 1979 - 1980.
I also pretty much always pull for any team playing Ohio State. I'm getting to the point where I always pull against Clemson too.
Dating back to my childhood in the 1990s, I've been known to favor Florida State. One of my best buds is a Nole, so he always keeps me in the loop with their program. I've liked Arizona State since the 1996 Rose Bowl when they rocked some crazy good uniforms:
I like Herm Edwards and their young QB, Jayden Daniels.
I like the three Utah teams, having spent some time out there a couple years ago. Make no mistake: Utah is a college football state, just like Mississippi and Alabama. It just happens to be out west.
I'd like to see Nebraska get a good run going again. I like PJ Fleck and I feel llke the Gophers fans deserve some consistent success. I don't pull against Wisconsin either. My dad has always pulled for Iowa (he is a big Hayden Fry fan), so he does not agree with my affinity for MInnesota and Wisconsin. I also like Syracuse and BC and I don't really know why.

Wisconsin. One of my best friends is from WI and we went to Madison for a game a couple years ago. Love how their recruiting classes are always.. meh.. But they still compete. I pull for Navy as well.

As a person that lives in the Big Ten area and a Buckeye fan. I will flip the question and say I have in my life cheered for Alabama, LSU, Missouri, Auburn and Georgia.
I have always liked the smaller school teams like Boise State. My favorite small school team is 8 time FCS National Champion North Dakota State!
And anyone who plays Michigan and Clemson!
I hope the playoffs expand to 8 teams and let an undefeated Group 5 team play in it. If they win it all it's great for college football! If not at least they were given a shot. That's one of the reasons why I love March Madness! This year, I was wondering how far Dayton or San Diego St. would go in the tournament.
For me, any college football game is good to watch! It's just the love of the game!

I’ve always liked Virginia Tech. It would be cool to see them in the playoffs.

Me and my little brother were huge K-State fans circa 1998. They have one of tGOAT fight songs: LINK
Their band also plays Wabash Cannonball, which was undisputedly the best song on NCAA Gamebreaker '99: LINK (seriously, listen to this jam, you'll be pumped AF)

Stanford, MTSU and I have a soft spot for K-State.

I sat outside and waited on a table at the Red Iguana at about 1 PM in the middle of June. I didn't break a sweat. Don't have that luxury here in Mississippi

Because they're red and white and run the ball and play good defense?

I had Colorado season tickets all through the 90s and still follow closely. But I’m not real emotionally invested.

There isn't a better reason IMO.

USF and UCF. I have friends who graduated from those schools and I've been to their spring games.
Texas and UH because I've always liked them and have cousins that graduated from those schools. The other Texas school I like is SMU from the Pony Express days. Also I like the underdog program.
Udub because of living out west in the late 1980s and 1990s under Don James (even though he was UMiami alumni. I'll let that slide...)
Nicholls St. because my sister graduated from there and I spent a summer semester there.
