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 injuries, complacency, and Betos incidents



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



Oregon State over Utah



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



Texas over Mississippi

Wisconsin over ASU

Notre Dame over Purdue

Utah State over Weber St.

Boise State over Air Force

Nevada over Florida St.

Middle Tennessee over Memphis

Georgia Tech over Duke

Houston bye week.

Virginia 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).



#6 Texas A&M over #1 Alabama

Tennessee over #2 Oregon

California over #4 Ohio State

Army over #5 Stanford

Kentucky over #7 Louisville

Kent State over #8 LSU

Akron over #11 Michigan

Lamar over #12 Oklahoma St.

Vanderbilt over #13 South Carolina

Tulsa over #14 Oklahoma

#23 Nebraska over #16 UCLA

Western Michigan over #17 Northwestern

Illinois over #19 Washington

Texas Tech over #24 TCU



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.



Pittsburgh 3 over New Mexico

USC 3 over Boston College

Colorado St. 3 over Cal Poly

UNLV 2 over Central Michigan

Wyoming 2 over Northern Colorado

Fresno St. 2 over Colorado

Southern Miss 2 over Arkansas

VT 2 over East Carolina

Temple 2 over Fordham

Rice over Kansas

UTSA over Arizona

Rutgers over Eastern Michigan

UCF over Penn State

Cincinnati over Northwestern St.

Syracuse over Wagner

Florida Atlantic over South Florida

Marshall over Ohio

Florida International over Bethune-Cookman

Michigan St. over Youngstown St.

Navy over Delaware

Umass over Kansas St.

Indiana over Bowling Green

Minnesota over Western Illinois

Washington St. over Southern Utah

Ball St. over North Texas

Maryland over Uconn

New Mexico State over UTEP

Iowa St. over Iowa

West Virginia over Georgia State



F. Cheer for the FCS team. Because it is fun (unless it violates rules A-E)



Stony Brook over Buffalo

Howard over Old Dominion

Nicholls St. over Louisiana-Lafayette

Eastern Washington over Toledo



G. Cheer for the little guy

Louisiana Monroe over Wake Forest
