I forgot about this. Here is last week:



The goals are:

1. To win the National Championship (still possible but not probable)

2. To go to a BCS game (same as #1)

3. To achieve the highest ranking possible

4. To win as many games as possible

5. To be bowl eligible and play the best bowl team possible

6. To be better than Utah



A. Cheer for BYU. Duh.



BYU over Texas



B. Cheer for the team playing Utah. If we need help from Utah in any way then it is not worth having.



Weber State over Utah



C. Cheer for BYU’s opponents. This helps SOS.



Virginia over Oregon

Wisconsin over Tennessee Tech

Notre Dame over Michigan

Utah State over Air Force

Boise State over Tennessee Martin

Nevada over UC Davis

Houston over Temple

Middle Tennessee over North Carolina

Georgia Tech bye week.

Idaho St. doesn’t matter



D. Cheer for teams playing teams ranked ahead of BYU. If both teams are ranked cheer for the lower ranked team (Of course rules A-C trump rule D).



San Diego St. over #3 Ohio State

South Carolina State over #4 Clemson

San Jose State over #5 Stanford

#11 Georgia over #6 South Carolina

Sam Houston State over #7 Texas A&M

Eastern Kentucky over #8 Louisville

UAB over #9 LSU

Miami over #12 Florida

UTSA over #13 Oklahoma St.

West Virginia over #16 Oklahoma

Syracuse over #19 Northwestern

Southern Miss over #22 Nebraska

Buffalo over #23 Baylor

SE Louisiana over #24 TCU

Washington State over #25 USC



E. Cheer for our Opponents’ opponents unless they are playing our opponents. This helps our SOS. The more connected a team is to our opponents the more you should cheer for them (unless it violates rules A-D). Air Force is the most connected team to our opponents as they play 4 games against them. The number by the team indicates how connected they are. If two connected teams play each other take the underdog.
