I will pull for whomever puts us ahead.

Yeah I guess I’ll pull against everybody early and then start selecting the teams to pull against if/ when we need a loss from them as the race narrows down.

Nah, I'm just watching Alabama, LSU and Georgia this year. That's it. Don't really care about it that much anymore.

I'll pull for whoever helps LSU advance up.

This is now my viewpoint, as well, and used to always root for SEC schools.

Yep, you all will figure it out pretty quickly...
You root for the underdogs until the there are a couple of games in the books...
Then you root against the teams who are ahead of you in the standings...

Definitely. Hopefully Bama can knock off UGA or Texas for us.

You aren't familiar with SEC football. Many, many times, sacrifices of allegiances are in order. It is many times much better for a bitter rival to lose, no matter the consequences to the team you support, just because that is what is required of you as a true fan.

It hasn’t had any relevance to me in 12 years..all I wanted was for our team to beat anybody. Some of the teams we’ve lost to were ridiculous….

Interesting question.

Without divisions, you'll probably end up rooting for teams differently. It’ll be nice to cheer for teams like Ole Miss without worrying about division standings.

There are always games that benefit your team. Everyone wants what's best for their team and will hold their nose and root for the best outcome. Otherwise, why would you?

No, my preferences will not change. I will continue to like who I like and hate who I hate.
