Quote:I think they are chanting it as a retort to the SEC fanatics with their SEC chant. SEC always thinks they are step ahead of everyone (and they probably have good reason to think so given how dominant the SEC has been as far as winning the last how many CFB titles), but to me, it is still idiotic to be triumphantly cheering for rival schools (or teams) just because they play in your division or conference.

 

THEIR team had success...not YOUR team, so why cheer?

 

I talked to a guy I used to work with back in Jacksonville last year before the BCS Championship game. He's a big time Alabama fan and he told me he was rooting for Auburn against FSU because he wanted to "keep it in the SEC." You'll never catch me rooting for Miami if they make it to a national championship game (luckily we shouldn't have to worry about that for a long time).
