Yep, I’m one of those Bama fans who pulls for the SEC. As I’ve said before, I do so for two primary purposes. First, SEC teams winning non-conference regular season and post season games makes Bama’s strength of schedule stronger. A NC team’s greatness is based upon a number of factors including how many ranked teams they beat and how many bowl winners they beat. Second, most of the nation despises the South and the SEC conference. They belittle us as often as is possible and they absolutely love it when an SEC team loses. Wait and see … we will soon start hearing a chorus of haters saying “See, I told you the SEC is overrated … look at their bowl record this year” blah, blah, blah.
Look, I’m a lifelong rabid Bama fan and I can’t stand the viles, both sets of our rival tiggers or the soon to be SEC Sooner’s. So I want Bama to beat them badly each and every year … but I want those teams to beat every non-SEC team they play.
