and most of all, keep the Heisman out of Ingram's hands somehow.

I want Colt McCoy to get it, but Nebraska is killing his offense at the moment...

I agree with this. The heisman means nothing for us or the conference. I've been pulling for McCoy all season on this one. (Would have loved to see EB get it, but knew that wasn't too feasible.) If McCoy can't get it tonight, I'm hoping Gerhart (SP) from Stanford can get it, but I know that probably a slim chance.

You're probably right if Bama loses and a different SEC school wins it next year. But, what if Bama loses it and then the SEC doesn't get back for several years or gets back and loses it again? See the Big Ten for your answer. It doesn't take long for preceptions to change.

the diffrence is FL and Texas are consistently the best recruiting states, so the SEC will never fall off as bad as the Big Ten has. I agree that strength of confrence does affect recruiting, I just don't think it affects the SEC as much as it does the other confrences. Plus look at the SEC TV contract and Coaches in the SEC. SEC will be ok even if we don't have a NC for a few years

I think the Big Ten is well out of the running for a good while now. It needs to stay that way.

It hasn't been that long. The big ten was on top when we won our last NC. SEC fans claimed the SEC was on top, but most every one else claimed the Big Ten was the dominent conference throughout the 90s.

Normally you should always go for the SEC teams out of conference and in bowl...BUT its bama. IF we had beaten them, I would say root for them all you want b/c we could tell recruits we beat the national champions and were the only team to do it, but thanks to daniel lincoln, we're unable to say that. Buck Fama, I will never root for them as long as I live. I cant believe I actually found myself rooting for Tim Tebow today. That should telll you a whole lot about the character of his opponent. Damn Cheaters....

Good point on the recruiting rich states. The other points could be debated as, "the chicken and the egg debate." Did we get the TV contract and coaches because of being strong, or are we strong because of getting the TV contract and coaches.

Not sure on that one.Good point though. Either way I love being in the SEC and i love the style of football we play. DEFENSE.And as i said if it was any other school but FL and Bama i would be pulling for the SEC. In fact i pulled for FL in thier last NC because of my SEC alliance but i just can't do it anymore. It's the Kiffin Era and my attitude towards alot of things in College football and the way i view it has changed. I just cant wait until Were playing the SEC champ and NC again.

Agree 100%. When the NC gets here, my heart may make me root against Bama especially if it's TX since my wife is a TX fan from TX. (She pulls for TN first though.) My brain will be saying I need to pull for Bama, but my heart may end up winning out by the time we see kickoff for the NC.

LOL. There was a time she tried that "Texas is the real UT" stuff, but I've swayed her over by taking her to Neyland several times. She'd pull for TN if they played each other now, but I honestly think she hopes they never match up. She refers to TX as the "long horns" now and understands the "true" meaning of the real UT.

Why would you pull for any other SEC team?!! Do you think Alabama winning the NC reflects well on us? No! They are the ones that will have the trophy in their case, not us. Do you think USC fans, Oregon fans, etc say "ooh, Tennessee is in the SEC and since Alabama won the NC and they are too, Tennessee must be a good team. Um, no. Not to mention the recruiting edge it gives Bama against us when they can flash that NC ring to any and all recruits that we are fighting for. Going for them is just plain stupid, not to mention traitorous. We hate Bama and we don't cheer for them under any circumstances if you are a real fan.

Why would I pull for another SEC team? Maybe because we can say....Hey we beat them with a decent field goal kicker this year. That said.....They are the best team in the nation and we win that game with a decent field goal kicker. Also it just goes to show that we play top knotch opponents week in and week out. SEC>All other conferences.

It really blows my mind of why you wouldn't pull for them.

thats the quickest way to get another fan on your side. Neyland is electric. My friend PIVOL has converted 1 bammer and a commador into UT fans by taking them to games. Neyland has converted more people than all the priest,preachers, deacons etc... combined

That's just the thing, WE, as in Tennessee, aren't getting the respect. OUR RIVALS ARE. No one cares what conference the National Champion is in. All that matters is that they won and that means they have the respect and they get the recruits. Period. This reasoning is ridiculous. I will never understand why anyone roots for a rival and somehow thinks by them winning it makes us look good.

You are crazy! No one cares what conference we are in? UH! If we can say we play Florida and Bama every year and can hang with them....what does that say? At least for this year as that we can hang with anyone int he country. That's better than going in and Bama getting there but kicked and then what does that say for us? Our competition is weak and we are even weaker. I really don't know how to put it anymore clear than that.

It's amazing how many Vol fans are relishing the chance to be for our biggest rival. It's like those politicians who hate gays and then get caught having a gay affair.

For those that say you have to pull for Bama because they're in the SEC, what if I pull for TCU because they have "Christian" in their name? I'm pleading for a Nebraska win as I type this

What a stupid comparison. Either way, you obviously don't read my posts for reasoning. I don't care if it's Bama or Vandy playing for the NC, I'm cheering for the SEC.

I hate Alabama, and hope they get dominated.

Nevertheless, even if they lose that game, Bama fans will claim a 13th NC because they'll claim the SECCG was the true NC this year and the Tuscaloosa Gazette ranks them #1.

If that's how you feel then be my guest. Although that has nothing to do with anything.

who cares about that? you must not know many bammers because if you did the last thing you would want is listening to them Gloat for the next 8 months about their 72nd NC. No screw that. Loving the Vols means hating Bama. Not disliking but HATING
