College, you are required to root for your Alma mater (and/or your home state team if your school didn't have football.)  
NFL isn't as written in stone. Plenty of people in NYC root for the Giants and Jets. I root for the team I bet on that day, and then the Bills, then Eagles, then Bengals. He'll, I'll root for any team playing the Cowboys.

 Rooting, and being a fan are different things. I root for alot of teams, but I am only a fan of the Bears. 
My order is a little different, I root for the Bears, then any team I pick in my confidence pool or bet on, then I root for anyone playing the Vikings, then anyone playing the Packers. 
Although this year, I have Aaron Rodgers as the cornerstone of my fantasy football team in a 14 team, expensive league, so not alot of cheering against the Packers because of that.
