Who do you cheer for away from your MAC team? I know not everyone lives in MAC country so I'm curious to see who you root for and root against in every conference other than the MAC.
I'm going to start this on every board to get their perspective of us as well.
BIG10 fav MSU, hate OSU
BIG12 fav ISU, hate Texas
SEC fav Mizzou, hate Florida
ACC fav UNC, hate Syracuse
PAC12 fav ASU, hate Oregon?
CUSA fav MTSU, hate Marshall
SBC fav App State, hate South Alabama?
MWC fav CSU, hate Fresno State
AAC fav UC, hate Memphis?
BIG10 fav Minnesota, hate Ohio State
BIG12 fav Oklahoma hate Texas
SEC fav Tennessee, hate 'Bama
ACC fav Virginia Tech, hate Miami
PAC12 fav Colorado, hate USC
CUSA fav North Texas, hate Marshall
SBC fav App State, hate Troy
MWC fav Boise State, hate San Diego State
AAC fav UConn, hate Houston (but really, I root against the whole conference)
B10 - I root for Michigan's opponent.
PAC12 - Colorado because of a family connection although I'm glad they failed to pick up win #6 this year. Great place to see a game.

Yeah, Colorado has a beautiful stadium. The backdrop of the mountains is hard to beat, too.

Why bitter? We won.
I hate Orange. Babers can't beat Toledo.
I root for the G5 and against the P5.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that d-bag Mike Gundy. I'm changing my Big12 hate from Texas to Oklahoma State.
Big 10 fav/Northwestern - Hate/o$u
SEC fav/Alabama - Hate/Florida
AAC - Hate em all (bunch of posers)
MW Fav/Air Force Academy - Hate/Boise State
The rest, not much of an opinion, but I do miss Marshall being in the MAC...

Pretty much this.
I root for MAC teams in OOC/bowl games and NIU and Navy for all games. I will watch other college games if I have time but I don't root for any of them.
Don’t care: Everybody but MAC teams and MSU (family connections) and Bama because they have Sagan and I fantasize that if he’d stayed UT would have won multiple NCAA Championships.
Care: MAC teams.

I like Marshall like I like a punching bag in the basement to see the MAC beat up on. CUSA is such a boring conference these days that its hard to even want to open up the standings.
Boise's program is the only thing keeping the MWC ahead of the MAC in football. If it were to collapse the MWC wouldn't have anything.
UCF I thought was an awkward school when they started out in FBS but they've been able to solidify their brand like TCU did. Their challenge to the CFP is good for the MAC.
Pac-12, MWC: Love, Hate? Yah, I dunno.
SBC: Love(ish): NMSU. Hate: Yah, I dunno.
