For me, besides SEC pride, its economics. LSU gets more money from the SEC for more SEC teams playing in bowl games, especially if we get 2 teams in BCS bowls.
If LSU has no shot at playing for the national champioship even if Oregon and Auburn have losses, I would much prefer Auburn to play in the National Championship game and take the $17 million back to the SEC. In that scenario, we would likely also get a BCS bowl for another $17 million payout to take back to the SEC. The SEC teams would split $34 million, just from those two games.
If Auburn or LSU do not play for the national championship, we may only get $17 million total to split amongst the SEC teams.
This is not to mention the prestige of the SEC and getting better bowl tie-ins, for even more bowl money to split.
Although, I do understand the hate of SEC schools. I only root for them if it helps LSU atheltics.

If you build up the competition and then beat the competition, your team looks that much better.
Would the win against Alabama look different if they didn't win a national championship last year? I think it would.
