Who do you (CUSA fans) cheer for in non cusa games question
Hopefully this won't turn into a smack thread but a serious question.

Looking at a few week 1 games but this can be assumed for the entire season, who are you cheering for in non C-USA games this year that involve a G5 team vs a P5 team

Boise St vs Ole Miss
Temple vs Vandy
Colorado St vs Colorado
UNLV vs Arizona
UCF vs Penn St

Just using these few games (but all non cusa G5 vs P5 games are insinuated), are you cheering for:

the G5 team (listed first) with the reasoning "G5 has to stick together" OR are you cheering for the P5 team to win with the reasoning "we need other G5 teams to lose to keep them from winning and increasing their perception" OR option 3 would be "depends on who the teams are" meaning you might cheer for one G5 team one week but against them the next (for example I will cheer for boise st against Ole Miss but i would cheer against Boise St if they were playing say Colorado).

Hopefully this makes sense and I look forward to seeing what other CUSA fans think

I will root for the G5 team in the vast majority of games.

I root for the non-AAC G5 over P5s but will root for a P5 over AAC.

In part because their "We aren't part of the G5 and don't say we are!" act has gotten old, and in part because if they keep having years like last year, they are going to have a point, and that's bad for us.

My mom went to Ole Miss so I grew up rooting for the Rebs before going to Middle so Hotty Toddy on Thursday but as for the other games I'm G5 all the way.

I pull for teams that fit these categories in this order:

1) Anyone playing Chapel Hill
2) G5 over P5
3) Geographically closest to Charlotte, NC
4) Underdogs

Yep. I always cheer for the underdog. The only teams I don't ever cheer for under any circumstance are WVU, Houston and ECU. 03-puke

All depends..

I went to USM.. My dad is a huge Bama fan has been since the 70s..

My BIL/SIL went to Penn State..

That's the 3 teams I usually watch and not necessarily pull for.

Most of the time it's who I root against. Meaning if Oklahoma is playing Ole Miss, who do I hate the most and pull against to lose.

I'll root for WVU in every game. Will also root for any G5 team playing a P5 team. In non-C-USA G5 games, I'll generally root for the underdog.

For me I will always cheer against the AAC and SEC. As far as games against other G5 conferences and P5 conferences it will be a team vs team situation as a few others have said.....and especially true come the last few weeks of the season when the outcome of that game helps CUSA get the most possible bowls.

1) Rice
2) UT
3) Boston College

Otherwise, I cheer for the underdog typically. There are some G5 programs that I dislike, but I won't list them for lack of desire for an argument.

I'm seldom even conscious of games OoC. I'm barely conscious of games in conference that don't directly involve southern miss.

RE: Who do you (CUSA fans) cheer for in non cusa games question
I want every C-USA school to win every OOC game but unless it's a highly ranked school I don't like I hope all G5 in other conference gets the dog crap kicked out of them in G5 vs P5.

I know that's different than most of you but it helps our conference when conferences rated above us lose and it helps shorten the distant when conferences below us win vs the P5. During a game I will probably end up pulling for the underdog if it's close or they are making a heck of a come back

Most of the time we are competing against other G5 schools for exposure, recruits, TV and not very often vs the P5...

not even those bottom feeders

I can't help but pull for all the G5's against the P5, even the ones I LOVE to root against in a G5vG5 matchup.

I just can't help but pull for the underdog - and that is such a motivator to a lot of fans - that I think the G5(S5) really needs to better embrace that aspect of our identity, in order to better leverage it for media and public perception.

I think it is a positive step that the G5 as a collective is Guaranteed a spot in a marquee bowl starting this year. That should also heighten national interest in the G5 as a whole.
