Most Hated SEC Team

I don't think I have ever rooted for Alabama. At times when watching Bama games with Bama friends I have commented on a nice play here or there, but inside I want them to lose every game. I have pulled for every other SEC team at one time or another.

I feel the same way. Even though, for the SECs sake, its good for all the SEC teams to win their bowl games I still can't bring myself to root for Auburn or Tennessee. The bad thing about that is most analysts use the bowl matchups to justify their reasoning in ranking the conferences, but as much as I would like those analysts to realize that the SEC is definitely the toughest, I just can't bring myself to pull for those 2. Even if it means the Pac-10 or Big 11 winning that argument.

As for LSU, it's kinda hard to base a rivalry on what has transpired over the last 18 months. The hatred that has been festering for decades between Bama and the other 2 (AU and UT) will not be overcome because of a coaches squabble. Besides, in all likelyhood 10 years from now neither Miles nor Saban will be at either school, so the intensity will revert back to what is was before. Basically, nothing. Just SEC Western Division rivals.
