It's the bye week. Who do you root for in these rivalries?

['stache 21770]

I think I said Army because they're usually the underdog, but I'm switching to Navy, because Anchors Aweigh is a bad ass fight song. 

[DixonHur 11194]

Army vs. Navy - I was in the Navy so this one is easy

Alabama vs. Auburn - Alabama winning helps Texas. 

Michigan vs. Ohio State - All else being equal, I choose the school with the best academic program

USC vs. Notre Dame - My brother and sister went to ND, so sibling rivalry is in effect.  Plus growing up I always loved watching the USC night games...I could always count on their cheerleaders to be hot. 

Florida vs. Georgia - I hate the state of Florida, and own a cabin in the Georgia mountains.

Miami vs. Florida State - As mentioned, above I hate Florida, so this is tough.  

Cal vs. Stanford - Tie break for academics

Oregon vs. Washington - Ducks are more fun to watch

Arkansas vs. Texas A&M - You sure meteor is off the table?  Ok, I'll go with the pigs

Mississippi State vs. Ole Miss - I hate Dak Prescott, so...

Arkansas vs atm?
 
Meteorite or nuke

Tactical nuke would solve so many problems at once. Don't forget Jerrah will be in attendance so the Boys instantly get better, and the talk of moving the bloU game ends forever.

For one week it's the offseason, so time for a very offseason thread. Who do you cheer for in these rivalries? No meteors allowed.

• Army vs. Navy
• Alabama vs. Auburn
• Michigan vs. Ohio State
• USC vs. Notre Dame
• Florida vs. Georgia
• Miami vs. Florida State
• Cal vs. Stanford
• Oregon vs. Washington
• Arkansas vs. Texas A&M
• Mississippi State vs. Ole Miss

My votes:
Navy, Auburn, Michigan, USC, Florida, Miami, Stanford, Washington, Arkansas, Ole Miss

I could be swayed on about half those depending on the situation (e.g. Army/Navy, Cal/Stanford, UO/UW and MSU/Ole Miss)

I don't think there's a bigger delta in cheerleader squad quality than Oregon and Washington. Oregon's is legendary, and after I saw UW's up close last year at Alamo Bowl festivities and all I could say was woof

Am I drunk, or did aggy already beat Arkansas this year?  They play Tennessee today.

In celebration of joining the SEC, check out SEC Nation. Laura Rutledge always gets my motor running but she’s wearing a real short skirt and thigh high boots this morning. All is right in the world for a little bit.

• Army vs. Navy - The one having the better season.
• Alabama vs. Auburn - In general Auburn, one of the schools I have historically like since I was a kid.
• Michigan vs. Ohio State - Michigan
• USC vs. Notre Dame - Only dislike blOU more than these two. Whatever fucks shit up the most for the given season. Here's to ND this year!
• Miami vs. Florida State - Another that if they are relevant whatever fucks shit up the most.
• Cal vs. Stanford - Cal
• Oregon vs. Washington - Probably Washington more often than not.
• Arkansas vs. Texas A&M - In general Ark but moving forward, whatever benefits Texas the most. (Although I would not be truly rooting for anyone. Maybe the winner has their QB concussed.)
• Mississippi State vs. Ole Miss - Meh....

 You can't really appreciate Anchors Aweigh until you've heard it played on sixteen tape drives, two line printers and a card reader.
