...don't think they actually respect Stanford or the Pac-12. The masses of Bama/SEC fans are like any "true" religion. Most think you're just dead wrong because it's important that what they believe continues to be right. Then there are the ones who don't get in your face about the truth ( =their team's superiority) but figure if you want to burn for all eternity in Hell, it's between you and God. Just more room for them in Heaven. And then there are some people who like football, know good football when they see it, and understand it won't always be played only in Bryant Denny Stadium or the Georgia Dome.  The SEC crowd I hang with are mostly the latter. And they have comped us some great seats for great Bama games over the years.Â
But just like all religious people, they grant you the right to be wrong while continuing to believe what they believe. If Stanford beat Alabama for the NC, the most generous thing they'd say is Stanford was smart enough to play "Bama football"... the only true way to salvation.
