It think LSU fans rooting for AU is about the dumbest thing I've ever heard of.

One, I don't recall many if any LSU fans rooting for Alabama.

Two, I seriously doubt those LSU fans that are also Saints fans would be rooting for the Falcons to win the Super Bowl if the Saints couldn't make the big game.

In no way does AU winning an NC help LSU. In now way does ANY SEC team winning the NC help LSU. The SEC prowess is already proven. It never helped LSU, and in fact hurt LSU in that we had to play Alabama twice in 2011 because of the SEC lovefest.

I do think a strong AU is good for LSU to keep Bama down, but they don't need crystal footballs to be stronger than Bama. They just need to beat Bama.

Apples to Oranges. There is no "NFC South Pride" or tradition like a conference.

Last I checked, LSU is an SEC team. And it sure as hell helped in 2007

If you don't see the difference between Alabama, the SEC home office favorite child, and Auburn, the state of Alabama step child, you have your head buried in something.

No shite, but that very same thing can be said about FSU and any other school to ever play in the game.

The rep the SEC has gained in this BCSC run helps every SEC school fighting to be a one loss BCSCG player and it might help LSU again in the future.

I understand not wanting Alabama to get there because of the plain SEC bias toward them, but I don't see that with Auburn and plus---we beat them!
