Well, I guess the Orioles and Braves are traditional de facto hometown teams for me. But, I dont care for either.

I dont care for Notre Dame (despite being Irish). Mainly because they traditionally have been given a break in ranking in football, despite being an independent. I remember they were Top 25 one year in the 1990s, despite being 5-3. And my actual hometown team Virginia Tech was 8-1. And one of the service academies was undefeated. And neither was in the top 25. (and the undefeated service academy, I remember had actually beaten Notre Dame).

That was pre-BCS. And I have to admit whenever I start hating on the BCS. I think about that year, and I stop complaining somewhat.
