I work with fans of various SEC teams and I see them all rooting for Bama to beat Notre Dame. I keep asking them why? Bama is a rival? Shouldn't you relish seeing them fall flat on their face on National Television? Sure they get money but they get that regardless of weather or not they win the game. Heck I couldn't even imagine rooting for Duke in March Madness. It would take them playing a whole team of Jerry Sandusky's to even get me to consider it.
Anyway thats why I love the NFL. No incentive to love your rival. Just pure unbridled hate.

Yeah their seems to be a sort of conference pride in college. That being said you will never catch miami fans rooting for fsu, or ohio st rooting for michigan, amongst others.
Edit: oklahoma and texas too
