I always enjoy watching the Bayou Classic. It's probably one of the better football games of the year.

Don't care about the outside conferences much but I do like watching Stanford.

I just enjoy football in general. I watch all SEC and the major matchups of other conferences

SEC comes first but I don't really care what conference comes after. I just enjoy watching football.

I'll watch a game from any conference if I expect it to be competitive and there's at least one quality team playing

I enjoy the upper tier PAC12 games. Stanford/Oregon
USC/Oregon etc. I usually check in on the red river rivalry too but that game hasn't been as much of a must watch the past couple of years. i know it's still in the SEC but i'm a huge fan of UGA/UF every year for some reason.

I tend to watch any game that is good. But I do enjoy:

ND - Michigan
Michigan - OSU
Texas - OU
USC - Oregon (lately)
Florida St - Miami to see if there will be stabbings on the field.

And so forth.

This is my view as well. I watch all Bama games 1st and foremost. Then I watch as many of the top 25 matchups and games that affect the BCS standings as I can. Now if there is an SEC game with a top 25 matchup and another conference top 25 matchup, I usually watch the SEC matchup and then flip over to the other game(s) periodically. But I try and catch as many of the top 25 matchups and games that affect the BCS standings as much as I possibly can because I love the game of college football itself.

As much grief as the Big10 and ND get, I find their games aesthetically pleasing: the stadiums, fans, style of play, uniforms etc. . . you get a real feel for the tradition and ceremony. . .

This is how I feel as well

I would rather watch OM vs Vandy or Arky vs MSU than pretty much any non-SEC matchup. I love SEC football, and everything else is just meh to me

I like watching B1G games, they seem to be the only conference that comes close to rivaling the SEC's passion for the game. Plus it's cool to watch an occasional snow bowl. If I had to put the conferences in order:

SEC

B1G



PAC-10/Big 12







Big East


Conference USA
MAC




High School football







ACC

I'll admit it. I watch non-SEC games. Sometimes it's fun to watch the amateurs.

I'll watch any conference as long as it's two ranked teams or two big rivals.

Specifically though I always pay attention to Big-12 football. I'm from north Texas and I love to see the Longhorns get crushed.

I watch as much CFB as I can. If its on, I'll watch.

If there are multiple games I'll have my laptop and tablet streaming as many as possible.

Last year I was able to get 10 games on at the same time between my TV, tablet, PC, and laptop.

strangely enough, I'm not a gambler.

I admit loving big rivalry games. It's a shame some of these don't exist any longer-

Oklahoma-Nebraska was my favorite
Michigan-Ohio St is good
Penn St vs Pitt or WVU was always a good watch back in the day, for Eastern supremacy.
Miami-Fla St back before they joined conferences was awesome.

In the old days before the current conference layout, those cross-conference matchups were great:

Penn St vs Alabama vs Nebraska; strong teams that wouldn't be overpowered by each other. Boring uniforms, but textbook football. Some great games.

p.s. it sucks that Nebraska and Penn St are now in the Big 10 or whatever it's called.

I enjoy football enough to watch any conference for the most part. Intrastate rivalries anywhere are always fun. Michigan/Michigan State, Arizona/ Arizona State, Oklahoma/Okie Lite are always a good watch.
