Um, the difference is obvious.
In college football, the ability to win championships depends in part upon the perceived strength ofn your conference. National championships and BCS title appearances are based on polling. Hence, I root for other SEC teams to win bowl games so that the SEC is considered to be the best conference in America. This redounds to LSU's benefit in years where LSU is competing for an NC appearance against teams from other conferences with identical records (see 2003, 2007).
In the NFL, there is no polling. Playoff seeding is determined by records and division championships. Super Bowls are determined by a playoff system. Hence, there is zero advantage in rooting for your mortal enemy.

Yep-I didn't really want Auburn to win but I must admit that hearing a few days of the media love/awe for the SEC was very enjoyable.

exactly. also, sec tradition is obviously a lot richer than a day-before-yesterday commercial football conference. i could give two fricks about the three other teams. why should i care about them?

I agree with the above post. Well Said!
I may have been pulling for the Falcons since they are in the South and also have been underdogs over the years if not for two things.
#1 The dirt bag Falcon fans at the dome this year who were astoundingly classless even for them.
#2 Roddy "The Tool" White and his tweets. Nobody should ever drag Katrina zingers into a game and someone like him can get F*cked for doing so.
