5) Arkansas
6) Vanderbilt
7) Alabama
8) Ole Miss
9) Kentucky
10) Texas A&M
11) Missouri
12) Tennessee
13) Auburn
14) Georgia

Pretty good list. TAMU could be lower. I have no opinion on Missouri fans. Is Auburn that bad? I don't root for any SEC teams to be honest.
 
If I'm not watching us, I just like to watch good football. That may mean watching a team I don't like.
 
Mine is something like:


2) Vanderbilt
3) Alabama
4) Arkansas
5) Mississippi St.
6) Ole Miss
7) LSU
8) Auburn
9) Florida
10) Tennessee
11) Missouri
12) Texas A&M
13) Kentucky
14) Georgia
 
Misread the title and answered wrong in my previous post.

I have never thought about who I like in SEC after us. I guess it’d be a 13-way tie for 2nd.

It really depends on the coach and the team.

I will say, in general, I don't find myself rooting for UGA teams very much during conference play.

Interesting question. Subjective and varies with each person, although trends can be seen.

2-Vanderbilt - respect the private school academics
3- Ole Miss - Hotty Toddy is cool.
4- Georgia (well I attended the medical college of Georgia)
5- Florida (my daughter attended UF)
6-LSU - home football games become “Saturday night Cajun whisky bottle throwing practice”
7- Alabama - Forrest Gump
8- Arkansas - Woooo pig! Fabulous track program.
9-Mississippi St- more cowbell?
10- Kentucky - UNC and Duke are better.
11- Auburn - Charles Barkley the only interesting alum.
12- Missouri - to me, Mizzou is boring
13- Texas A&M - learned many good Clemson jokes from the Aggies
14- Tennessee - I simply loathe Rocky Top.

Been to all of them at least once, several of them many times, so I have some knowledge of opposing teams fans.
1 Missou-I found there fans to be very friendly, gave us good grilled food and spirits
2 Vandy-Most of them can take it or leave it
3 Ole Miss- fans love having a good time in the Grove, never gave us a hard time when we walked by.
4 Aubie-spent one sat in an a parking lot full of aubie fns watching a huge wide screen tv and eating their grilled food, most are very likable if you don't act like an idiot.
5 Miss St -out in the boonies but fans are ok.
6 A&M-been there three times and not had any problem with fans. weird male cheerleaders though.
7Arky-been once that was enough, dont care for calling pigs
8 Bama- been once when we first played them after joining the conference, was pouring down a rain so nobody got in anybodys face.
9 LSU- been several times and most are civil, they will even give there gumbo to try before the game, but when the game starts, it is the absolute loudest stadium in the conference.
10 Tenn-not one of my favorites, my son and a friend was walking back to the car after the game and got punched in the face by a young fan for no reason.
11 Jawga too many bottles thrown in the stands for me, got pulled off the hedges in 1980 when Big George fumbled at the end of the game.
12 Florida-proud of their gator chup and they get in your face to prove it.
13 Kty- They hated Spurrier and I mean hated him when we would play up there and I think they passed their hatred of him on to the fans. two drunks got behind my wife and I after we had lost the game and gave us hell all the way back to the car.

That's my list, know everyone has had different experiences.

Georgia is my second favorite SEC Team. Grandma went there.
My most hated is a tie between UT and Mizzou - regardless of sport.
Vandy Baseball is just above these two on my list. But I'm indifferent as to Vandy Football.
UK is probably tied with Vandy Baseball.
The others are just there.

Do we have to put USC at #1? All I know is Georgia is at 13 and Tennessee is at 14.

2. Georgia (I grew up a UGA fan, so even though I never pull for them outside of bowl games, I don't hate them like most Gamecocks)
3. Alabama (have to respect greatness)
4. LSU (the real Death Valley)
5. Vanderbilt (who cares about them?)
6. Mississippi State (cowbells are overrated, but Mike Leach is awesome)
7. Ole Miss (cool uniforms)
8. Arkansas (no feelings toward them whatsoever)
9. Auburn (clemson west)
10. Tennessee (fans were nice, but orange sucks)
11. Missouri (trash program)
12. Kentucky (the fact their program is better than ours is embarrassing)
13. Texas A&M (the yell practice is one of the stupidest traditions in college football, only beaten out by rubbing a rock)
14. Florida (Dan Mullen; the stadium is overrated; after we blew it in 2018, a kid about 8 years old got up in my face yelling about how we lost)
 
I like the lists. Where do you think USC would be ranked in most people's lists? I'd say pretty high for most (3-5 range) - but that could be good (we have awesome fans and teams) and bad (you never hate someone you always beat).
 
Mine:
2) Arky--best experience ever at football game in the 90's
3) UT--went to grad school there. Love, love living in East TN.
4) Vandy--have friends who went there. Love Nashville, too.
5) LSU--they had big signs welcoming us to Baton Rouge, "GEAUX COCKS"
6) UK--premier basketball school in the USA.
7) TX A&M--because I hate Univ of TX. They brought lots of fans to SEC.
8) UF--they tend to beat UGA in most sports.
9) Bama--what's not to like, they are the premier football program in the USA.
10) MSU--they've always had a good baseball program.
11) Auburn--reminds me of Clemson without the lake.
12) Mizzou--no pros or cons.
13) Ole Piss--some obnoxious fans live here in TN.
14) UGA--I hate this school almost as much as UNC.
