I’m usually pretty indifferent when my team isn’t playing. If anything I’m rooting against the Big Ten because frick them for trying to cancel football.

I get the Bama fatigue angle. But choosing between that and Ohio State who had the rules changed in their favor so blatantly this season, I’ll say Roll Tide!

was cool with LSU beating Clemson. LSU was the best team in the country and deserved it.

This. Pretty sure I rooted against LSU in every game last year until the NC.

Honestly I did root for LSU. I work with and associate with a lof of LSU fans in the oilfield. Good for them.

Just never been one that thinks what other teams do and accomplishes has much bearing on what happens at A&M. It is up to A&M to get its shite together whether LSU beat Clemson or Bama beats Ohio St.

I’m rooting for OSU, but I obviously rooted for LSU last year.

I pulled for LSU against Oklahoma and Clemson last year.

As an Alabama grad who unlike a few of my Bama grad family members doesn't live in the heart of LSU territory on the North Shore, I don't feel threatened by LSU or their fans.

I have very close lifelong Auburn grad friends and even pull for them in postseason games unless its for an SEC or national championship like in 2010 or 2013. Auburn basketball is a bit of a different story as a big Alabama basketball fan though. My Auburn friends and Auburn fans in general never gave a s### about basketball with the exception of the one or two year under Cliff Ellis until Pearl got there. Even so, I was incredibly impressed with their Final 4 run a couple of seasons ago.

I pull for all SEC teams in bowl games with only rare exceptions.

I think most people had a lot of respect for and enjoyed watching Burrow. He was great story. Even if they won’t admit it.
frick LSU but Burrow was the only reason why I was happy the Swamp Cats won.

That and Dabo/Clemson are very easy to root against.

I rooted for LSU last year, and almost always pull for the SEC in general in the post-season.

With the current system, I think it's even more important to do so, because whether they admit it or not, that perceived strength carries over into the next selection process (as evidenced by Notre Dame getting in due to Clemson).

When the SEC does well, we all share the benefits, including that sweet CFP bonus money distribution.

Vast majority of the non-LSU fans on this board were rooting for Clemson last year.
Regardless of what they tell you

Speaking for myself, family, and friends,
that's simply not true. Burrow and LSU was a
good story---and on top of that, you're
underestimating the general distaste for
easy-street Clemson by Alabama fans.
