If you had to choose an SEC team to root for; Who would it be?

Boring day and I've always wondered about this topic. 

I don't know who I'd root for, probably Georgia or LSU. 

How about you guys?

I would have to go with Tennessee. I got family down there for one, but they are relatively close to Ohio, have a nice stadium, and game days down there are crazy with all the fans and boats docked right outside the stadium. They have struggled lately but it would be who i would root for.

I'd go with Georgia. Richt is a respectable coach, they have decent success and to me seem to be the overall "good guys" of the SEC

Georgia, Richt is a good guy and coach, they don't mess around when a player screws up, and it's my mother's alma mater. If I didn't root for UGA I'd probably root for Vandy.

This question is like asking me if I was going to kill myself which gun would I use...

But,..I would probably say Vanderbilt since they are completely irrelevant

 

AND then people probably won't like this, but I'd probably cheer for UF. They have dominated tOSU at times and I'd rather see that team continue to peak so we can at least claim we've lost to the best...

Plus, it's Coach Meyer's former team and if Tebow can say he is a fan of THE Ohio State University...

I can say the same about UF

Having lived in Tennessee, I would say none.  However, Ole Miss probably has the hottest coeds lol.

Vanderbilt - if my rooting for them could magically make them win, every other team in the SEC would hate that with a passion.

South Carolina. I don't think theres a more compelling reason to root for an SEC team if you have to than Steve Spurier press conferences.

Arkansas without a doubt. Best friend in the Marine Corps was a big Hogs fan, He passed away so I always find myself pulling for them. Corny I know. The BCS game against them was the only time I wanted them to lose. 

If only they could have beat Florida in 06 with runDMC, Felix Jones, and Holdout Hillis.  We could have played WV in the title and smashed Pat White to bits...... ugggggggggggg

Also like watching Vandy with Jordan Rodgers at QB. Classy Program.

Dustin Fox was our leading tackler as a corner.... because his guy always caught the ball.

I've been known to give a "go dawgs" every now and then. Richt is a legit good guy - reminded me of a southern version of Tress.

Georgia by a southern country mile.  The only team with a more history than fabricated history, and Richt actually respects the players he recruites.  Florida would have been close if 2007 never happened.

Georgia and then Kentucky. I was in Hawaii when Hawaii had their BCS bowl. For a month it seemed like the whole state was talking about how great the Rainbow warriors were and that they deserved a shot a the NCG. Now there have probably been some mid majors deserving of that chance, but Hawaii was not one of them. So I was so very happy cheering for the Bulldogs in a room full of Hawaiin fans and watching the warriors being ripped apart. I was a fan of Jared Lorenzen and for fun I'll sometimes coach Kentucky for a couple of seasons when I play NCAA before getting the OSU job. It's amusing to take a cellar team in the SEC and make them relevant and whoop up on Alabama/Florida/LSU/etc.

I mean...if I had to eat a turd which flavor would it be---definitely Georgia. By a mile. Anyone who would root for UF - come spend some time in Florida. UF ----far & away the worst turd out.

Richt is DEFINITELY the Tressel of the south.  That dude and Tressel both have NO BALLS when it comes to play calling and relying on their defenses.  Having said that, I HATE Georgia living here.  Fans are obnoxious and always think they're superior just because they play in the SEC.  Alabama, Florida, Auburn, and LSU fans also suck.  Tennessee & Vandy fans are actually pretty good.  I'd probably say Tennessee.

LMAO so not only does the SEC have "the worlds greatest athletes" but apparently they have the hottest women on the planet now too?? I guess when you win 6 straight championships ur food tastes better and the beer somehow gets colder as well.

Since A&M is part of the picture now here's my list:
 

Tied for 1st is A&M and Tennessee because of their traditions. And I'm a fan of the Smokey Mountains.

Tied for 3rd is Vandy because of academics, and South Carolina because I met some of their fans and they're actually pretty good respect wise.

5th-Missouri because of Don Draper

Tied for 14th-Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Auburn, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Miss State, Kentucky, and Florida because they barely know how to spell their own name.
