Who's Your Second Favorite College Team?

[King TUSKankahamun]

I always pull for the SEC except LSU and Auburn but candy appears to be my next

The Texas and Nebraska. My closest friends are Texas and Nebraska fans so we watch games and pull for each other's team

[Chief Mac]

FSU by marriage but I have to admit I have liked them as a second team since Charlie Ward was their QB

[Tequilin' Time]

I'm gonna get hate mail for this but:
For reasons of family and because I love their mascot  -  UGA

had 5 bulldogs in my life, my first male was solid white, 75 lbs of awesome and was mistaken for UGA many times throughout the south.

[Inhogswetrust]

There's quite a few posters, especially in Jump Ball, that hate Memphis or "Tiger High" as they like to call it which is why I'm expecting some blow back for being a Memphis fan.

It's all good though I don't crease easily.

You don't have to worry about any blowback because nobody else cares about memphis football.

[EastexHawg]

Nebraska.  I've just always liked them.  I always pulled from Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne to beat Oklahoma.  I'm taking a bit of a hiatus while the lunatic is coaching there.

[Wildhog]

FSU and BYU are neck and neck.

[carolinahogger]

2. Duke
3. UNC
4. East Carolina
5. Wake Forest

[LZH]

Its not shameful to have a second favorite team people.  No one is questioning your loyalty to the Hogs. 

Just like ice cream flavors...if your fav is chocolate, and second is vanilla, no one chides you for eating vanilla.

What if we're talking about girlfriends? 

[goodguytex]

My second favorite is Ouachita Baptist. That's where I went to college. Third is Duke. In football only, not basketball. I like what coach Cutcliffe has done there. I also like Baylors football program. Now if it's basketball, Oklahoma State is my second favorite.

[Speedracer]

Florida tied with any teams that beat Texas and ND

[hoghearted]

arkansas state. Don't really follow them but I am always glad to hear when they win.

Guess I'm not really passionate about any team but the Hogs.

[havok]

Depends on who is wearing White and who is wearing Red during the Red/White game...  :-)

[WilsonHog]

You don't have to worry about any blowback because nobody else cares about memphis football.

Including Memphis.

[kingofdequeen]

[Hogfaniam]

Auburn followed closely by tOSU then OU then USCw then Texas in that order.

Ok, now you're just making shizz up...

[Hogsmo Kramer]

I was referring mainly to BB since yes Memphis football has been irrelevant for well......forever.

[DEVIL DOG HOG]

Michigan State and Arkansas

[hoosier]

I don't have a 2nd favorite team in football but there are a few programs I've always liked- Mich, UCLA, ND and Neb. Mainly just a football fan

Basketball it's IU. Will root for IU against anybody except the Hogs. These last several years with the Razorbacks and Hoosiers(except for a couple) stinking in basketball has made me almost give up watching.
Hopefully this year was a big step in the right direction for Anderson and the Hogs

[Johnny Razorback]

My second favorite team is any team that is playing a team that Clay Travis roots for. 

[jusgtohogs]

My favorite team is The Arkansas Razorbacks, #2--whoever is playing Texas, and then I make a point of checking the score of UA-M, since that's where I went to college.

[bphi11ips]

Unless it's for an SEC NC, whoever is playing Auburn.

Truthfully, though, I like to see Arkansas State do well.  It's an Arkansas thang.  I remember watching the 1970 Pecan Bowl.  That bunch of Indians played some serious defense. 

[oldhawg]

Closely following the Razorbacks:

1. USNA ( my sons alma mater)
1. TCU (my daughters alma mater)
3. USMA (my background)
3. AFA (service academy)

and then SEC football in general.

[Pig In The City]

Oregon

[hoglady]

Geaux Tigers!!!!

[sportster365]

Aside from conference loyalty, my second favorite team generally changes at random, due to players, coaches, schemes etc....for now it's Louisville. I'd like to see Coach Petrino back in the conversation for natl. titles. His style of play is fascinating and I love watching it. One of the few coaches whose playcalling I actually understand at least 90% of the time.

What a surprise.

ND Rudy...Rudy...Rudy

[HogScoutMaster]

ND

[popcornhog]

Mine is Missouri Southern.  That's where I received my undergraduate degree.  Then Troy comes in third, that's where I received my graduate degree.

Funny how I didn't attend Arkansas (I do have a U of A Walton School of Retailing Diploma in Senior Leadership from the U of A)  but they are my number one college team.

Who is your second?

Only Arkansas as a school or team for me.

That said, I often like a coach or player(s) and end up liking a team on a limited basis in that regard.

For example -- I enjoyed watching Clemson last year; Utah under Urban Meyer; Duke under Cutcliffe; Vandy under Franklin; Houston under Sumlin; Wisconsin under Belema; and WVU under Rich Rod. I'm not especially a fan of any of those schools though.

[Hogfaniam]

Whoever is beating the teams ahead of us in conference; or on the rare occasion we are leading, those that threaten that lead.

[SpaCityHawg]

I don't have a second team.

[plumbhog]

UAPB!

[Justifiable Hogicide]

Notre Dame

[Inhogswetrust]

FSU and BYU are neck and neck.

You aren't allowed to neck at BYU.......................

[Inhogswetrust]

Including Memphis.

No kidding!

[chitwnhog]

LSU. My Mother grew up in Jackson MS that side of my family are LSU fans and they hate Ole Miss. Wasn't a big deal until '92. The Hogs will always be #1

[HappyFan]

Henderson State University.  I am an alum there as well as UAMS.

Go Hogs, Go Reddies.

[HogNdazs]

I root for any SEC team when they are playing a different conference. But one team I root for is Oregon.  Not really a good reason just always liked them.

[mevskithog]

well done.

[LZH]

So you can - if you're married. 
And remember, no limit on the number of wives!

What a place!

I guess that's their way of making up for it.

[rickm1976]

OU followed by A&M.  Half my family are Okies, including my mother, and I remember every Thanksgiving the whole family watching OU and Nebraska on TV, and hating on Nebraska.  I lived in San Antonio for 18 years, and have two close friends who are Aggies, and took me to some games in College Station.  If all Aggies are like my two friends, then they are good people.

PS - I have cousins in Lake Charles who are LSU grads, but I do have SOME standards.  Nothing could ever make me like the Corndogs.

And they get Sunday's off so they can rest and watch NFL Redzone! At least thats how I understand it.

[Danny J]

[Huckleberry Pig]

Michigan State and Stanford

[pigture perfect]

Whoever plays Texas.

[stan the man]

Born in Tennessee 21 yrs., 12 years in Michigan and 40 yrs
In Arkansas. Arkansas first and either Michigan
and Tennessee next.

[hogwild6700]

UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs

[Professor Psychosis]

I don't have a set-in-stone second team, but I have always watched college football at-large in addition to Arkansas.  Every year I find teams and coaches and situations to root for, but the only team I follow is Arkansas.  I always liked Florida State as a second team during the 90s when Arkansas was down, but I couldn't tell you 3 players on their team last year, whereas I could tell you most of the 2-deep from a 3-9 Arkansas team.

[HogWildBison2011]

I don't really have a 2nd favorite.. But I am curious to see how FAU will do since CP is now the head coach. I will be keeping an eye on them.

[pigskenG]

hard to narrow it down, but I would have to say my next nine favorite would be any team that is playing against Texas, Texas A&M, So Cal, ND, Ohio St, Mich, FSU, OU & Ok St.
