So how does the SEC winning OOC help the University of Tennessee? Those are our rivals. The more they win, the stronger they get, more national attention, could swing a recruits mind away from UT.With very few exceptions, I root for:
1. SEC vs. OOC
2. SEC teams on our schedule vs. SEC teams not on our schedule
3. SEC teams remaining on our schedule vs. SEC teams already played
The above rules are best case scenario for Tennesse IMO as long as we are winning. The exceptions to rules 2 and 3 come into play once we've lost to someone and are trailing in the standings because of the loss.
It is all about The University of Tennessee to me - whatever helps us most in the present season.

Cheering for another school out of conference pride is something that I elect not to do. I am a fan of ONE college football team, the Good Guys.
I'd rather cheer for UT and see them lose every game than cheer for any other SEC school to win a single out of conference game.
Of course, I'm also a Cubs fan so I may very well be a sociopath with masochistic tendencies.
agreed. I never understand rooting for the conference, it doesnt help your team in any way, it just hurts you in recruiting.

I guess understanding strength of schedule is not your strong suit. Say USuCk wins all their games, in conference and out, and then UT lays the wood to them. How do you think the recruits feel then? How about the quality of that win getting you into the final four playoff? In the SEC, take care of your business and let ALL the other details work themselves out.
I will probably get banned for posting that. :rofl:
This isn't Vandymania......If it's your opinion, so be it. No worse than UT fans saying they wish the earth would open up and swallow both Bama and FL teams.
You will of course probably be horse whipped by VN, but that is to be expected.....oh, and F*** Florida!
